A former majority leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa has decried alleged persistent attacks on members of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Tudun Wada federal constituency of Kano state.

The lawmaker who represents Doguwa/Tudun Wada federal constituency in the Green chamber stated this while speaking with journalists on recent happenings in  Tudun Wada local government.

Doguwa alleged that, chairman of the local government council, Hajiya Sa’adatu Salisu was behind the attacks on innocent persons and planned to demolish structures belonging to members of the opposition particularly the Tudun Wada Local government APC Chairman, Alhaji Suyudi Umar Tudun-Wada and others.

The chairman of North Caucus in the 10th National Assembly, said:

“what we have was a barbaric attack on our people and our party offices organised and perpetuated by the Chairman. She simply went and opened up fire on innocent persons at market place in the name of demolitions of structures of members of the opposition.

“One of the most hit is the Tudun Wada Local government APC Chairman, Alhaji Suyudi Umar Tudun Wada. They are always out for trouble under the guise of the ruling NNPP”.

Doguwa recalled the crisis between him and the ruling NNPP in the state in the last general election when they accused him of allegedly committing murder.

“Not untill when courts of competent jurisdictions cleared me at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and Kano respectively. The two judgements ultimately upheld the judgement and assigned payment of N25 million as cost against the Governor and Kano state government,” he said.

This is just as the Kano state Police Command reportedly invited the Tudun Wada local government council chairman, Salisu over the allegations.

The Command’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Kiyawa, told journalists that the force has commenced investigation and have invitations to all the people involved, including the local government chairperson.

He said: “there is a formal complaint against the ALGON chairperson. All the witnesses and the suspect have been invited. The orderly to the ALGON chairperson has also been recalled to the command to give account of the matter”.

A human rights organisation, Human Rights Network, HRN-NIGERIA has called on police to thoroughly investigate the matter and ensure perpetrators were brought to book.

In a letter signed by its country director and legal consultant, Haruna Ayagi and addressed to the Kano state Commissioner of Police, the organisation called for the investigation of the matter reported at its office against the Tudun Wada local government council boss.

“With deep sense of humility, we write to request for intervention and thorough investigation into a matter reported at our office Human Rights Network against the Chairperson Tudun Wada Local Government Area Kano State (Sa’adatu Salisu Yusha’u) and others…”
