The Kano state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on Nigerian security agencies to immediately arrest Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), in the 2023 presidential election.

APC wants Kwankwaso those sponsoring terrorism in Kano

According to The Punch, the APC chairman in Kano, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, called on the security agents in a statement on Tuesday, June 18.

Abbas' statement reads in part:

“Nigeria Security owes an urgent responsibility of not only arresting Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who is behind the allegations, but they must make him mention those who are sponsoring the insecurity in the State.”

The NNPP presidential candidate made the allegation on Monday, June 17, at the flag-off ceremony for the 85-kilometer rural road construction in his hometown, Madobi.

Kwankwaso accuses FG of sponsoring new terrorism

Kwankwaso alleged that President Bola Tinubu-led federal government was aiding a new breed of terrorists in Kano because of the deployment of heavy security at the Nasarawa mini-palace where the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero had been staying.

Reacting to the allegation, the APC chairman in Kano asked the security agencies not only to detain Kwankwaso but also to ensure that the former presidential candidate identified those he accused of recruiting Boko Haram terrorists under the Tinubu's government's directive.

Abbas said the statement is condemnable because it is a pointer to a sinister plan from Kwankwaso's side.
