Also, Shonibare dismissed the misinformation going the round alleging that he was arrested by the Police.
He said that it look as if people were attempting to usurp the leadership of SDP by resorting to violence which has never happened in SDP.
“They are resorting to telling lies. They ignored the court process. Our only option now is to actually report what is happening to our Lawyers.
“We will also seek legal redress for those who were injured when the meeting was invaded and specifically the sponsors whose names were mentioned by the thugs
“They specifically mentioned their name. We will report this matter to the Police ourselves and take up the matter with our Lawyers,” Shonibare said.
He disclosed that the leadership of the party met and approved all the programmes including state congresses and national convention.
He assured that the leadership of SDP would continue to be in touch with members of the party on developments, while outcome of the NEC meeting would be referred to relevant authorities, including the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Bandits Dump Corpses in Revenge Attack in Tafoki Village, Katsina
By: Zagazola Makama
A group of suspected bandits have launched a brutal revenge attack on Tafoki village in the Fasakari Local Government Area of Katsina State, dumping several corpses at the entrance to the community.
Local sources told Zagazola Makama that the assailants, believed to be mostly in their 20s, arrived in the village on April 9, 2025, and positioned the bodies at the entrance. This attack is reportedly in retaliation for the deaths of three bandits killed by villagers in February 2025, after the criminals attempted to launch an assault on the village.
Among the slain bandits was Goje, a notorious leader who led the failed attack. Sources suggest that the bandits have since been abducting villagers, tying their hands behind their backs, and executing them with gunshots to the head. Afterward, the bandits return the bodies and dispose of them at the village entrance.
As families mourn, they are left to recover the decomposing remains of their loved ones, with some corpses already starting to decompose.
Villagers are left devastated, grappling with the trauma of the violence and the realization that their attempts to defend themselves against the bandits’ previous assault have now turned into deadly retribution.
