Sani Accuses El-Rufai of Jailing Critics in Kaduna
Shehu Sani, a former senator, has accused Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, of imprisoning four individuals who criticized his administration. This accusation comes in response to El-Rufai's recent claims that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is acting tyrannically.
Sani highlighted that El-Rufai's actions are part of a broader strategy to intimidate and silence opposition voices in Nigeria. He specifically named four victims of El-Rufai's alleged repression: Dr. John Danfulani, Mal Nasiru Jagaba, Steven Kefa, and Segun Onibiyo, who reportedly spent months in Kaduna prison due to comments made online against the former governor's administration.
Sani's statements reflect a growing concern regarding the treatment of dissenters in Nigeria, particularly between 2015 and 2023, during which he claims El-Rufai showed intolerance towards criticism, especially on social media.
