The David Olofu Campaign Council has condemned the alleged forceful snatching and diversion of electoral materials meant for the African Democratic Congress primaries in Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency.
According to the council, armed individuals and thugs intercepted the vehicle transporting the party’s electoral materials and the Apa Local Government ADC Chairman, Hon. Sharon Adokpe.
The chairman was reportedly pushed out of the moving vehicle, while the perpetrators fled with the materials to an unknown location.
The campaign council said no primary election took place in Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency under these circumstances. It called on the state and national leadership of the ADC to reject any result purportedly arising from the disrupted process.
The council urged the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to investigate the incident, apprehend those involved, and prevent the circulation or validation of any fraudulent result from the exercise.
It also demanded the disqualification of any beneficiary of the process and called for the prosecution of all perpetrators to safeguard the integrity of the party’s internal democratic process.
The David Olofu Campaign Council said it remains committed to a free, fair, and transparent contest and will pursue all lawful means to ensure justice.
The statement was signed by Dr. Friday Adakole Elijah, Secretary, David Olofu Campaign Council, on 21 May 2026.
