El-Rufai Threatens Legal Action Over Defence Minister's Claims
On September 7, 2023, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai issued a legal threat to Defence Minister General Christopher Musa (rtd.) over allegations made during a live broadcast on Channels Television on September 3. Musa accused El-Rufai of orchestrating killings in Southern Kaduna during his tenure, claiming that his administration left the region deeply divided and created a toxic atmosphere.
The El-Rufai family, through Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, responded by demanding that Musa substantiate his claims with credible evidence, stating that such serious allegations cannot be made without proof. They provided Musa with a seven-day deadline to either present evidence or issue a public retraction and apology.
The family warned that failure to comply would result in legal action against the Defence Minister for the unsubstantiated allegations.
