Top ADC Chieftain Raises Alarm Over Threats To Life, Says Strange Individuals Trailing Family
Umar said he had been noticing suspicious movements of strange individuals around his residence and office, expressing fears that the developments could pose a serious security threat to him and his family.
A Kaduna-based chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Umar, who identified himself as the state coordinator of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has raised the alarm over alleged threats to his life and those of members of his family.
Umar said he had been noticing suspicious movements of strange individuals around his residence and office, expressing fears that the developments could pose a serious security threat to him and his family.
The ADC chieftain made the disclosure while addressing journalists in Kaduna on Thursday, where he narrated his concerns and appealed to security agencies to intervene before the situation escalates.
He specifically called on the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS) to take note of the alleged threats, monitor the situation and provide the necessary protection for him and his family.Nigerian news analysis
Umar said he was becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of his family, alleging that unfamiliar individuals had been moving suspiciously around his residence and office.
He called on the police and the DSS to take his complaints seriously, stressing that security agencies must not wait until an attack occurs before intervening.
The ADC chieftain, however, declared that the alleged intimidation would not force him to abandon his political activities or support for Atiku Abubakar and the ADC.
“I cannot be intimidated or silenced,” Umar declared.
He insisted that he would remain resolute despite the alleged attempts to threaten him and members of his family.
His public alarm comes amid heightened political activities and manoeuvring ahead of the 2027 general elections, with political actors and supporters of different parties intensifying their mobilisation across the country.
He urged security agencies to treat his complaint seriously and take proactive measures to ensure that neither he nor members of his family suffer any harm.
