Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has ordered an investigation into the disruption of an All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Lafia. The incident reportedly caused delays and security concerns during the event.
Security officials confirmed that the disruption involved unauthorized entry into the venue and interference with the event’s logistics. The governor’s office stated that the probe aims to determine the responsible parties and ensure accountability.
The disruption occurred during a rally for APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu. Witnesses reported that the interference led to a temporary halt in the event’s proceedings. The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has denied involvement, stating it is not responsible for the incident.
The APC has expressed concern over the disruption, calling for transparency in the investigation. The Nasarawa State Government has been accused of failing to provide adequate security for the event.
This incident follows a pattern of security challenges during political rallies in the region. Previous disruptions have raised questions about the effectiveness of local security measures. The ongoing probe is expected to provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding the disruption.
