ACF Protests Alleged Illegal Sealing of Headquarters by Police in Kaduna
The forum said police acted without a court order and urged the Inspector General of Police to reopen its headquarters before delegates arrived for the meeting.
- On Tuesday, Nigeria Police personnel sealed the Kaduna Headquarters of the Arewa Consultative Forum , blocking access ahead of the National Executive Council meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
- An unsigned circular attributed to Board of Trustees Chairman Bashir Dalhatu claimed the meeting was cancelled; however, the ACF clarified that Chairman Mamman Osuman convened the session under the ACF Constitution.
- The forum rejected claims of legal restrictions, noting that relevant security agencies were duly informed of the meetings; delegates have already arrived in Kaduna expecting rationality to prevail.
- ACF National Publicity Secretary Prof. Tanko Muhammad Baba called on Inspector General of Police Tunji Disu to direct the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police to unseal the headquarters immediately.
- Officials stated there is no legitimate basis for sealing the office, characterizing the action as stemming from unstated motives rather than valid security or legal concerns regarding the ACF's operations.
