Odinkalu Calls for Accountability for El-Rufai's Actions

Chidi Odinkalu, a prominent human rights activist and former chairman of Nigeria's National Human Rights Commission, has publicly criticized former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai for his alleged abuses of power during his tenure. Odinkalu's remarks came in light of El-Rufai's recent arrest by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and subsequent release on bail by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Odinkalu emphasized that every citizen deserves due process and should be treated equally under the law, condemning El-Rufai's past treatment of critics and the brutal actions taken against the people of Kaduna State. He highlighted specific incidents, including the abduction and murder of Dr.

Rafael Galadima and the disappearance of Dadiyata, which he believes exemplify El-Rufai's reckless governance. Odinkalu's statements reflect a broader call for accountability and justice in Nigeria's political landscape, particularly concerning the actions of those in power.
