Some officials of Kaduna State, under the supervision and protection of some heavily armed security operatives and suspected thugs demolished the head office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) faction which suspended Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state.
The team which pulled down the building located at 11B, Sambo road, GRA Kaduna, was said to have arrived at the place around 4am on Tuesday.
The faction known as Kaduna Restoration Group is led by Suleiman Hukunyi, senator representing Kaduna north central.
An aide of Hukunyi simply identified as Abdulraham said: “The bulldozer was accompanied by armed soldiers who blocked both sides of the road leading to the building.”
Some loyalists of Hunkuyi have accused el-Rufai of masterminding the act but the governor is yet to respond to queries regarding the development.
However, a senior government official who did not want to be named tried to justify the action by saying the demolition was carried out by the Kaduna state Urban and Property Development Agency (KASUPDA).
He said the property was allocated for residential purposes and not for political activities.
Although the crisis in the Kaduna chapter of the APC has been on since 2015, it reached its height on Thursday when Hukunyi group issued a query to el-Rufai and suspended three of the governor’s aides.
