The Sokoto State Government has taken the significant step of sealing an office occupied by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) amid an ongoing dispute over the ownership of the property. This action was announced by Barrister Nasiru Dantsoho, the state Commissioner for Lands and Housing, on Monday, highlighting the legal uncertainties surrounding the office's ownership.

The closure of the ADC office comes in the wake of concerns regarding the legal status of the property, which has prompted the state government to seek clarification from the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC). Dantsoho emphasized that the measure was also a precautionary step to prevent any further confrontations, which had recently arisen due to the ownership questions.S1S2

This decision reflects the Sokoto State Government's commitment to addressing property disputes and ensuring that legal ownership is clearly established before any further use of the office can resume. As the situation evolves, the ADC will likely be awaiting the outcome of the NDIC's clarification on the matter.S1S2
