The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi State has publicly alleged that a group of influential individuals is planning to use the police to arrest and intimidate members of the opposition.
According to the party’s statement, the alleged scheme involves leveraging law‑enforcement agencies to target political rivals, though the ADC did not disclose the identities of the individuals or provide specific details about the intended arrests.
The ADC’s claim was reported by Punch Nigeria, which noted that the party’s leadership in Kebbi has raised concerns about the potential misuse of police powers for partisan purposes.
Kebbi State, located in north‑western Nigeria, has been a contested political arena where the ADC competes with other parties for influence. The party, founded in 2005, positions itself as an alternative to the dominant parties in the country.
The allegations come amid ongoing political tensions in the region, and the ADC has called for investigations into the purported plot, urging authorities to ensure that police operations remain impartial and free from political interference.
