NNPP Condemns Attack on Members in Kano, Calls for Investigation

The Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has condemned an attack on its members in Ruwan Bago Ward in Rogo Local Government Area of the state.

The party said the incident occurred during an event where a prominent politician was leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the NNPP.

According to the party, the attack was allegedly carried out by thugs linked to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Karaye, the NNPP described the incident as unacceptable and called for a thorough investigation.

“The party strongly condemns the attack on our members,” Karaye said. “We urge security agencies to carry out a full investigation and ensure those responsible are brought to justice.”

He disclosed that 11 members of the NNPP were injured during the attack. Two vehicles were also damaged, including one belonging to the politician who defected to the party. Several mobile phones were reportedly stolen during the incident.

Karaye further called on security agencies to take proactive steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.

He also urged the All Progressives Congress and its leaders to avoid actions capable of heightening political tension in the state.

“Opposition is an important part of democracy and should not be suppressed through violence or attacks on political opponents,” he added.
