Man stripped naked in viral video not APC national chairman – Aide

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has denied the report that he was stripped naked at the Emir of Lafia’s palace as being insinuated in a viral video.

In a telephone interview on Saturday in Keffi, the APC National Chairman’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Nata’ala Mohammed, said those making such allegations were not honest to themselves and were mischievous, adding that “they are only seeking relevance.”

“A viral video of a man that was stripped naked on Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Emir of Lafia’s palace, which was also insinuated and suspected to be the APC national chairman is false.

” It was the mere imagination of mischievous people who are unfamiliar with the physical look of Sen. Abdullahi Adamu.

” This unfortunate misplacement of the true physical look of the person of Adamu is not in any way to be linked to him,” Mohammed said.

Also, a pro-democracy group, A. A Sule Progressives Forum has vehemently condemned the dastardly act that occurred to their Grand Patron, Alhaji Abubakar Giza, who holds the traditional title of Ciroman Giza.

The State Coordinator of the forum, Mr Jonathan Samuel, described the incident as barbaric and unbecoming.

He stated that Giza was an elder statesman and an APC stalwart who has been a very strong pillar of support to the government of Nasarawa State.

According to Samuel, Giza is a peace-loving man, urging that ”the evil act done to him by some unscrupulous elements should not be played down.

”The perpetrators of such a dastardly act should be identified and brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others.”

He stressed the need for everyone to be security conscious at all times, saying, “bad eggs are lurking everywhere”.

Samuel also urged the security agencies to intensify efforts in apprehending the culprits.
