The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, has debunked insinuations that he was stripped naked at the Palace of the Emir of Lafia.
Speaking with reporters in a telephone interview on Saturday in Keffi, the Personal Assistant on New Media to the APC chairman, Nata’ala Mohammed, said those making such allegations were being mischievous, adding, ”they are only seeking relevance.”
He further said, “A viral video of a man that was stripped naked on Thursday, December 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 looks of Senator 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.”
Meanwhile, a pro-democracy group, A .A Sule Progressives Forum, has identified the man stripped in the video as its grand patron, Abubakar Giza, who holds the traditional title of Ciroman Giza.
State Coordinator of the forum, Jonathan Samuel, condemned the act, stating 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.
The group urged security agents to arrest those who dehumanised him.
