The Adamawa State leader of Blackcap Revolution Movement, Mustapha Atiku Ribadu, has alleged that Muhammed Yusuf Adamau, the Aide de Camp (ADC) to state governor, Mohammed Jibrilla Bindow, is planning to assassinate him.

The Blackcap Revolution Movement is the youth wing of the support group of Nuhu Ribadu, a governorship aspirant who lost to Governor Bindow in the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) last October.

Nuhu Ribadu is yet to accept that Bindow truly won that primary election, but some members of his group recently expressed support for Bindow, apparently without Ribadu’s blessing.

Mustapha made the allegation against Bindow’s ADC in a petition addressed to the Inspector General of Police and made available to newsmen in Yola Monday; but the ADC quickly refuted the claim, insisting that no such thing as Mustapha was alleging existed as far as he (Muhammed Adamu) is concerned.

In the petition, Mustapha stated that his brush with the ADC started after the ADC “used funds to compromise” some supporters of Nuhu Ribadu to side with Bindow, and that he incurred the anger of the ADC after he defended his group, the Blackcap Revolution Movement, “from the incursion of some unscrupulous people who wanted to reap from where they did not sow.”

“That basically set me on collision path with the ADC who was responsible for bankrolling the whole plan of dividing our team,” Mustapha added.

In the petition entitled, ‘Threat to my Life by the ADC to Gov Bindow of Adamawa State,’ Mustapha stated, “Sufficient evidence at my disposal has revealed a covert plan by the ADC to get me eliminated. A police officer attached to the ADC is given the task of eliminating me by all means.”

He urged the Inspector General of Police to investigate the matter “before a law abiding citizen is condemned to death.”

But reacting in a telephone interview Monday afternoon, the ADC dismissed the alleged plot by him against Mustapha, insisting that he had no plan to harm Mustapha.

“He is just attaching my name to nothing. I have nothing to do with his allegation,” the ADC said, stressing that, “I am a professional police officer doing my job and I really don’t want to join issues with anyone. But I must stress this: I have nothing to do with what he is saying.”
