Omokri Demands Prosecution of El’Rufai for Human Rights Abuses

Reno Omokri, an ambassador-designate, has called for the immediate prosecution of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El’Rufai, highlighting alleged human rights abuses during El’Rufai's eight-year tenure. Omokri recounted instances of violence, including the killing of 347 Shia Muslims, which he claims included women and children, and an estimated total death toll of around 1,000.

He also mentioned the abduction of critic Abubakar Idris and the arrests of several journalists and activists, asserting that El’Rufai's actions were part of a vendetta against dissenters. Omokri criticized El’Rufai for demolishing properties linked to critics, including Suleiman Hunkuyi and Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir.

He urged El’Rufai to stop evading accountability for alleged theft of 423 billion during his governorship, emphasizing that no one is above the law. The article also references a recent incident involving El’Rufai at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, where he allegedly resisted arrest by DSS personnel, leading to public outrage over the violation of due process.
