The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rogo Local Government Area of Kano State was reportedly abducted by suspected bandits last night, raising fresh concerns over insecurity in the area.
The abduction occurred weeks after the local APC chairman publicly declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, saying Nigeria was getting better under the Tinubu administration.
Details surrounding the latest incident, including the circumstances of the abduction and the whereabouts of the chairman, were not immediately clear from the information available.
The incident has renewed concerns over the persistent security challenges confronting communities in parts of northern Nigeria.
Residents and political stakeholders are expected to look to security agencies for efforts to locate the abducted chairman and secure his safe release.
The development has also drawn attention because of the chairman’s recent political declaration in support of President Tinubu.
Weeks before the reported abduction, the Rogo APC chairman had publicly expressed confidence in the Tinubu administration and declared support for the President’s re-election.
He reportedly argued that Nigeria was making progress under Tinubu and called for continued support for the administration.
However, there is currently no confirmed information establishing any connection between his political position and the reported abduction.
The latest incident is expected to heighten calls for stronger security measures to protect political leaders and residents across affected communities.
Political observers have also stressed that criminal acts should not be allowed to undermine citizens’ freedom to express their political opinions or support candidates of their choice.
As authorities work to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident, attention remains focused on efforts to secure the chairman’s safe return and address the wider security challenges affecting the region.
