Thugs Attack Malami’s Convoy in Kebbi, APC Denies Role

Suspected political thugs on Monday attacked the convoy of former Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami, in Birnin Kebbi.

Eyewitnesses said around 10 vehicles were vandalised, while several supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) leader sustained injuries.

Malami explained that his visit had no link to politics. He said he only came to offer condolences to prominent families who lost relatives during his absence.

“It’s a painful act clearly linked to politics. Some thugs came out from the APC state headquarters armed with dangerous weapons and stones, attacking and destroying our convoy,” he alleged.

“The truth is, when it comes to politics in Kebbi State there is no retreat, no surrender.”

APC Reacts to Allegations

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi denied organising the assault. The party’s spokesperson, Isa Assalafy, said they strongly condemned the incident.

“Kebbi is a peaceful state. No government that enjoys massive support from the people and is confident of victory in 2027 would want the peace of the state to be disrupted,” Assalafy said.

However, he counter-accused Malami’s security aides of escalating the crisis. According to him, some officers attached to the convoy opened fire during the clash, which provoked more chaos.

Observers in the state have urged both parties to avoid further violence, warning that repeated clashes could inflame political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
