Former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, on Sunday, accused his successor, Uba Sani, of masterminding the recent attack on him and other opposition figures in the state.
Chaos had erupted at the official inauguration of a transition committee jointly set up by opposition parties in Kaduna State on Saturday, as suspected political thugs invaded the venue of the event.
The former governor and other participants were attacked and properties vandalised.
Speaking on the matter on a Channels TV programme on Sunday, El-Rufai claimed there is evidence that Governor Uba Sani orchestrated the attack.
He said, “I have evidence; Kaduna State Governor is behind Saturday’s attacks. I will submit evidence to the IGP and other authorities if they care to investigate.”
El-Rufai expressed regret that “the policing system has collapsed in Nigeria,” alleging that police operatives were present while opposition figures were being attacked by political thugs.
