ADC Campaign Train Attacked by Thugs in Kogi State
On October 3, 2026, a violent attack occurred against the campaign team of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kogi State, targeting Musa Ahmadu, the ADC candidate for Kogi West Senatorial District, and Quincy Ahmed, the candidate for Lokoja/Koton-Karfe Federal Constituency. The incident took place in Gegu-Beki, near Koton-Karfe, during a voter-mobilization event.
Assailants, suspected to be political thugs from a rival party, attacked the campaign convoy, destroying several vehicles and campaign materials. Although no fatalities were reported, multiple party members sustained injuries.
Tom Zakari, the Kogi State Chairman of the ADC, condemned the attack, attributing it to masked political sympathizers acting under the influence of a prominent local rival politician. Zakari announced plans to pursue legal action against the perpetrators and urged the Kogi State Commissioner of Police and security agencies to address the rising political violence.
He also called for calm among ADC supporters in Kogi West.
