Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai has accused National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu of ordering arrests without investigation and interfering in judicial processes.
Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, of ordering arrests without proper investigation. Speaking during a chat with DCL Hausa, El-Rufai alleged, “Nuhu Ribadu just picks his phone and calls any security outfit to arrest anybody without any form of investigation.” He, however, stressed, “I am not saying President Tinubu makes the call.”
According to El-Rufai, “It is not the NSA’s job to call EFCC, directing them to arrest this person or that. His job is to advise the President on security issues. If he sees a person that is a threat to security, his job is to draw the attention of the President, and he would order an investigation.” The former governor maintained that the NSA’s actions, as alleged, go beyond the statutory responsibilities of his office.
El-Rufai also alleged that Ribadu interferes in judicial matters by influencing bail decisions, claiming the NSA asks judges not to grant bail to suspects who, according to him, were not properly investigated in the first place. “I feel ashamed when I remember he was once my friend,” El-Rufai said. “Nobody is as wicked as Nuhu Ribadu in Tinubu’s administration.”
