The Sokoto State Government has sealed the office of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a move to safeguard lives and property, following disturbances involving the party's supporters and some miscreants. Commissioner for Lands and Housing, Barrister Nasiru Dantsoho, disclosed that the government reviewed property documents and found the building's ownership originally belonged to the defunct Savannah Bank, with no official transfer recorded.
Dantsoho wrote to the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), the custodian of the property, seeking clarification on its current ownership, but has not yet received a response. The government sealed the premises pending the NDIC's response, warning that anyone attempting to forcefully enter the building would face legal action.
The controversy follows allegations of attacks involving ADC supporters and state security operatives, heightening political tensions in Sokoto.
