The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State have engaged in a dispute over allegations of violence at a political rally. According to the ADC, approximately 5,000 women and youths attending a rally supporting ADC's 2027 governorship candidate were attacked. The ADC's media aide, Aminu Abdullahi, stated that the incident happened around 10 a.m. as ADC supporters marched from Old Savannah Bank area to the party's state secretariat in Sokoto.
The APC, on the other hand, denied the allegations, alleging that ADC supporters had attacked their party members and stolen motorcycles. Dan'iya, the ADC candidate, condemned the alleged attack and urged security agencies to investigate the matter and prosecute those responsible. However, the APC's Special Adviser on Rural Roads, Malami Muhammad Galadanchi Bajare, suggested that the ADC's claims were fabrications aimed at tarnishing the party's image.
He stated that police and NSCDC personnel were present at the scene and could provide their version of events. The allegations remain unverified.
