APC Is Using Security Agencies To Pressure Opposition Figures – Nasir El-Rufai

Nasir El Rufai

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has alleged that ongoing investigations and the arrest of his associates are politically motivated. He recently had his say during an interview on Arise TV, and Nierians have been reacting.

According to him, the unlawful investigative tactic and violation of human rights are the ruling party’s way of using security agencies to pressure opposition figures.

He added that financial investigations should depend on electronic records rather than physical detention.

His words, “In civilised countries, you don’t start investigation by abducting a person or even arresting a person and keeping him while you’re investigating. It’s a violation of human rights.

You do your investigation, okay? Financial records today are largely electronic. They can’t be hidden. You do your investigation, you get your records.

They have done their investigation and have found nothing.

I will go to them. Charles, I’ve been around this system. I know what’s going on, even in those institutions. I have an idea what’s going on.

Absolutely. Look, some of the professionals in this institution feel very bad that they are being compelled.

When some of my guys that have been invited or abducted face them, when they finish all the questions, they tell them, look, we’re sorry, but this is all political. Why don’t you guys go and settle with them?”

WOW.
