The office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) faction that suspended Governor Nasir el-Rufai has been demolished.
The office located at 11B, Sambo Road, Kaduna was demolished in the early hours of Tuesday under the supervision of heavily-armed soldiers and suspected thugs.
Known as the Kaduna Restoration Group, the faction led by Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi(APC – Kaduna North) on Sunday handed the governor a six-month suspension after a stakeholder’s meeting.
Another faction of the party loyal to the governor on Monday upturned the suspension, describing the faction that imposed the sanction as illegal and unknown to the national leadership of the party led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
Before it was converted to a parallel state APC secretariat last week, the one-storey duplex was said to belong to Senator Hunkuyi.
According to TheCable, quoting an unnamed senior government official, the building was demolished by Kaduna State Urban and Property Development Agency (KASUPDA).
The official reportedly said that the building was originally earmarked for residential purposes not for political activities, hence its demolition.
