Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused the administration of Governor Uba Sani of masterminding the attack on an African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition meeting in Kaduna on Saturday.

Speaking on Sunday Politics, a Channels Television programme, El-Rufai dismissed allegations linking him to the disruption.

“It is very stupid for anyone to think I would invite thugs to invade an event of my party,” he said.

The former governor alleged that police officers on duty provided protection for the assailants.

“The police were there. They knew what happened. They provided cover for the thugs to do what they did. So, the thugs were government-sponsored. We know them, and we know the police officers that were there,” he stated.

El-Rufai squarely blamed the Kaduna State Government for the violence, vowing to present proof.

“The government of Kaduna State was behind it. I will submit my evidence to the Police Service Commission and the Inspector General of Police, if they care to take action,” he added.

The attack reportedly occurred during the inauguration of an opposition transition committee in Kaduna. Armed with cutlasses, clubs, and stones, hoodlums stormed the venue, injuring several participants and damaging vehicles.

El-Rufai also revealed that he would file a formal petition with the Inspector General of Police over the incident.
