Kebbi govt denies using courts, security agencies to intimidate critics

The Kebbi State Government has firmly denied recent allegations made by the Centre for Reforms and Public Advocacy that it uses security agencies to harass, intimidate, and detain critics, describing them as false, malicious, and a clear display of ignorance.

In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ahmed Idris, the state government dismissed all accusations as lacking substance, evidence, and fairness. Idris emphasized that the administration of Governor Nasir Idris is inclusive and transparent, ensuring all citizens are carried along in governance.

He further noted that the claims were a calculated attempt to discredit the administration’s achievements, especially its ongoing developmental projects under the Kauran Gwandu-led government.

The CPS urged residents of Kebbi to disregard the allegations. He described these accusations as unfounded fabrications orchestrated by opposition elements hiding behind an unverified organization.

The Kebbi State Government reiterated its commitment to democratic principles and constructive engagement, calling on the public to continue supporting the current administration in fulfilling its mandate to the people.
