Kaduna police violating constitution – El-Rufai reacts to summon over ADC meeting
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused the state Commissioner of Police of violating the constitution.
El-Rufai said the summon sent to him was a dangerous descent into lawlessness by the state police Command.
The state police command had earlier allegedly prevented a scheduled meeting of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, from holding in the state.
The Command subsequently summoned El-Rufai and seven members of the ADC for questioning.
It accused the former governor and ADC members of alleged criminal conspiracy, incitement of public disturbance, mischief, and causing grievous hurt.
The summon said the ADC Chairman in the state should produce El-Rufai and others at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, on September 8.
Responding, El-Rufai condemned the action of the state Police Command.
Addressing a press conference at his private residence in Kaduna, the former governor said: “The commissioner knows what he is doing violates the Constitution.
“He waved a piece of paper claiming it was a court order, but it was never served.
“Even if such an order exists, it must be legally delivered before it can take effect. That has not happened.
“This is a dangerous descent into lawlessness. We want to see that injunction, we want to know the grounds, and we will contest them in court. This is not the end— further steps will follow.”
He said, “The claim that I was taking drvgs or p;lls is nothing but the work of the d£vil and my political en3mies. What was actually in my mouth was just sweet blue candy.”

Alaoji Plant Returns To National Grid
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company has restored the 450-megawatt Alaoji Open Cycle Power Plant in Abia State after it remained shut for three years.
The facility had stopped operations due to gas supply problems, debt issues and disagreements over metering.
The shutdown had affected output from the national grid for more than 36 months.
Officials explained that efforts were made to resolve the long-running disputes and stabilise gas supply before restarting operations at the plant.
The restoration is also expected to support businesses and industries relying on stable electricity.
The Alaoji facility is one of the major power plants in the country and plays a role in boosting energy distribution across several regions.
Its return comes as authorities continue pushing for better electricity generation nationwide.

Hon. Sir Tochukwu Okere(TOSKA), Member Representing Owerri Federal Constituency, has strongly condemned the incessant gruesome killings, kidnappings, rapes and violent attacks carried out by unscrupulous and criminal elements terrorizing communities within Owerri Federal Constituency, especially in Ihiagwa, Obibiezena, Eziobodo, Emeabiam, Okolochi, Umuguma, Avu and other neighbouring communities.
The recent killings of vigilante operatives and innocent constituents at Umuguma and Ihiagwa call for urgent and deterrent response by our security agencies.
In a passionate motion raised before the Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Okere called on the Federal Government of Nigeria and relevant security agencies to immediately deploy adequate security personnel to the affected communities and take decisive actions against the worsening insecurity threatening the lives and properties of his people.
According to him, the continuous attacks on harmless villagers, farmers, women and youths can no longer be tolerated under any guise.
“I urge the Federal Government of Nigeria to urgently look into this motion and act swiftly before more innocent lives are lost. Our people deserve to live and to live in peace without fear of being kidnapped, raped or butchered in their own communities,” Hon. TOSKA stressed.
The lawmaker further emphasized that the people of Owerri Federal Constituency will not fold their arms and watch criminals continue to unleash terror across Ihiagwa, Obibiezena, Eziobodo, Emebiam, Okolochi, Umuguma, Avu and other communities while families continue to mourn their loved ones daily.
This courageous move by Hon. Sir Tochukwu Okere has continued to attract commendations from constituents who describe his intervention as timely, bold and people-oriented.
Hon. Okere is the light and the voice of Owerri Federal Constituency.
May God keep him to keep standing for us and for our interest.
