Kaduna Ex Councilors Tell EFCC,ICPC to Arrest, Prosecute Elrufai ,his Commissioners 



The former Councilors across the 23 local government areas of State converged on Poly Gate Hotel, Kaduna vowed to embark on mass protests  to demand for full recovery of alleged looted fund by former Kaduna Governor and his cabinet members.

The Councilors ,who made the  demands via  the National Forum of Ex-councillors of Nigeria insisted  Elrufai and his former commissioners must also be arrested and prosecuted.

The Forum of Councilors  disclosed their planned actions against the former Governor through their National Chairman, Hon. Ambassador Awal Kasim who addressed a Press Conference in Kaduna on Thursday, July 11, 2024.

The mass action according to Hon. Ambassador Awal Kasim include: open protests at all known houses of Mallam Nasir El-rufai and his commissioners in Kaduna and Abuja and  file judicial litigations compelling the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to immediately swing into to ensure the  arrest Mallam Nasir El-rufai and his indicted commissioners for squandering the hard earned resources of the state.

While stating  that the Forum will mobilize its members across the Nineteen Northern States to join in the mass actions against Mallam El-rufai and his co-horts asserting that Kaduna as the capital of Northern Nigeria cannot be allowed to be raped to death by unpatriotic elements who after raping the state still shamelessly ran to the courts to seek honour by way of judicial protection. 

He wondered why El-rufai has quickly forgotten how he turned the judiciary in the state to a good for nothing institution while he held sway for eight years as Kaduna State Governor in addition to the wanton hardship he unleashed on the people of the state by demolishing their houses, churches, mosques, schools and markets.

Hon.Kasim further disclosed that the mass action in Kaduna against the former governor and his indicted cabinet members will be attended by mobilized members from nineteen northern states while the mass action against the immediate past governor in Abuja will be attended by members drawn from the thirty – six states of the federation.

He however appealed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission to place the former governor, his family and the indicted Commissioners as well as their families on Interpol’s watch list in Lybia, Morocco, Egypt, Sudan and United Arab Emirates so as to forestall the repeat of the Yahaya Bello Episode in Kaduna State.

 Kasim called on all lovers of Democratic dividends in the State to rally round the executive governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Uba Sani and the speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Liman to checkmate  all the antics of the former governor of Kaduna State and his indicted commissioners.

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY By Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Esq. Constitutional Lawyer and Rights Activist. Every day across Nigeria, police officers risk their lives to arrest armed robbers, murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and violent criminals. Yet, time and again, these same criminals walk free, not because they are innocent, but because the system fails at a time it matters most: the courtroom. At the heart of this systemic failure lies a silent crisis—the grossly neglected legal department of the Nigeria Police Force. Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...
