The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed grief over the death of one of its prominent members in Jigawa State and former member of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Abba Anas Adamu, who reportedly died after being abducted by bandits along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.

In a statement issued by the party, the ADC said it was deeply saddened by the tragic development involving the former lawmaker.
The party, on behalf of its National Chairman, National Secretary, members of the National Working Committee (NWC), and the entire ADC family, described the late politician as a dedicated public servant who committed himself to grassroots politics with humility, integrity, and dignity.
