 Arewa Discussion Group (ADG) Condemns Wave of Terror Across Northern Nigeria, Alleges Plot to Subvert 2027 Elections


The Arewa Discussion Group (ADG) has condemned a wave of heinous attacks and mass killings targeting civilians across northern Nigeria, alleging a plot to subvert the 2027 elections. 

In a statement signed by  ADG Spokesman Dr. Garba Abari  on behalf of  the Chairman Alhaji Mohammed Bello Misudan and other members of the group expressed shock and outrage at the recent spate of violence, extending condolences to families of victims and devastated communities.

The ADG specifically condemned the massacre of worshippers in Zamfara State, desecration of a mosque in Kebbi State, and bombings in Borno State, which have left scores dead and many more injured. The group noted escalating violence and loss of lives and property across multiple states, including Bauchi, Benue, Plateau, Kwara, and Niger.


The ADG believes desperate elements are deliberately trying to undermine the security situation ahead of the elections, allowing anti-democratic forces to capitalize on the chaos and subvert the people's will. The group called on the federal government to deploy enhanced security measures, ensure transparent investigations, and provide humanitarian assistance to survivors and displaced families.


The ADG urged the international community to monitor Nigeria's security and electoral situation and support efforts to restore peace and democratic integrity. Dr. Abari emphasized that the ADG stands in solidarity with the people of Nigeria, calling on Nigerians to remain vigilant and resist forces seeking to undermine democracy through violence and intimidation.

  Dr A. R. Kamal : Tribute to An Apostle of Simplicity By Abubakar Imam On Wednesday, January 7, 2026, Ilorin Emirate lost one of its finest patriots, Dr AbdulGafar Rasheed Kamal . Until his death, Dr Kamal was the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM), Ilorin .  The death of Dr Kamal came to me with a rude shock. But who can question the decision of the Giver and Taker of life?.  Nevertheless, I initially found the news very difficult to believe until I placed a call to my sister and colleague, Mrs Fatima Rasheed of Kwara State Television Service , who confirmed the sad news to me. His demise reminds me of the Yoruba saying, "Igi tí ó bá tó, kìí pé nígbó" (a tall and straight tree does not last in the bush). Dr Kamal was a perfect gentleman. He was very humble, patriotic and sublime. Because of my interest in always meeting people, I had always known the deceased as one of the rising stars of the southe...
