Kwara Lawyer Alleges Police Intimidation Over Land Dispute with Tinubu’s Aide

A Kwara-based lawyer, Nurudeen Abdulsalam, has alleged that he is being intimidated by the Nigerian Police Force following his accusations against the Aide-De-Camp (ADC) of President Bola Tinubu over land disputes. According to a report by Premium Times Nigeria, Abdulsalam claimed that police officers from Kwara State travelled to Abuja to arrest him after he accused the President’s aide of using state institutions to intimidate residents over land disputes.

Abdulsalam made the allegations in a petition he wrote to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, dated October 31, 2026. In the petition, he called on the IGP to investigate the allegations and bring the perpetrators to justice.

The development comes amidst rising concerns about the use of state institutions for personal gains, a trend that has been a subject of public discourse in recent times.

This story matters to Nigerian readers because it highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the use of state institutions, particularly in the context of land disputes. It also underscores the importance of the rule of law and due process in addressing such issues.
