Immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has been summoned by the Kaduna State Police Command.
He was summoned alongside key members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna.
According to the letter sighted by Daily Trust, they were invited for questioning over alleged criminal conspiracy, incitement of public disturbance, mischief, and causing grievous hurt.
The letter dated September 4, 2025, was signed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Uzainu Abdullahi.
The letter reads, “This Department is currently investigating the above mentioned case involving the following members of your party. You are requested to come along with them to SCID to clarify allegations reported against them by the complainants on 8th September, 2025.
“Mal. Nasir El-Rufa’i, Bashir Sa’idu, Jafaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed, aka 30, Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita, and Ahmed Rufa’i Hussaini, aka Mikiya.”
When contacted, the ADC North-West Vice Chairman, Jafaru Sani, whose name was also listed, told Daily Trust that most of them got to know of the invitation through social media.
“Yes, most of us only saw the statement on social media,” he said, declining further comments.
Last week, the Kaduna state government and El-Rufai engaged in heated exchanges over the violence which rocked an ADC meeting in Kaduna.
The government had accused El-Rufai of plotting to destabilise the state through provocative actions and inflammatory statements, an allegation he denied.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Suleiman Shuaibu, the government said it would not fold its arms and watch El-Rufai plunge Kaduna back into violence, division, and insecurity.
“This Government will not fold its arms and allow a discredited former leader, who left the state in ruins, to ignite chaos and plunge the state into another era of ethno-religious tension, insecurity, and economic stagnation,” the statement read.
According to the Commissioner, El-Rufai’s recent activities including convening what he described as an “illegal and chaotic” political meeting that reportedly ended in violence are part of a calculated attempt to incite unrest.
The statement accused him of exploiting old wounds and peddling dangerous lies in response to the defeat of his political allies in the August 16 by-elections.
But the former governor maintained his innocence, accusing the ruling party in the state of attempting to silence the opposition.
