African Democratic Congress (ADC) and All Progressives Congress (APC) figures in Sokoto State trade accusations over an alleged attack during a party rally. The clash is described as happening on Tuesday during a rally that begins near the Old Savannah Bank area and draws supporters for the ADC governorship candidate, Manir Muhammad Dan’iya.
According to ADC-linked reporting, Dan’iya accuses suspected APC supporters of attacking about 5,000 women and youths taking part in the event. Other coverage says both parties respond by blaming each other, with demands for accountability over what each side characterises as the other’s role in the confrontation. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some lead with the ADC accusation regarding attacks on women and youths, while others frame the story as a back-and-forth blame game between the two parties rather than a one-sided claim.
