Growing anti-opposition sentiments in states and institutional complicity are heightening tensions ahead of the 2027 elections. A recent attack on African Democratic Congress (ADC) supporters during a rally in Kaduna State has been cited as an example.

Suspected political thugs invaded the gathering, and security operatives deployed tear gas.
