Baba-Ahmed: El-Rufai’s Detention Smacks of Political Persecution

PRP national chairman Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has accused the judicial process of treating former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai as a political prisoner. He argues that shuttling El-Rufai between detention centres on multiple charges without granting bail suggests political motives. Baba-Ahmed warns that this prolonged detention is fuelling public sympathy for El-Rufai and damaging confidence in the justice system. He urged authorities to conduct fair and transparent trials to avoid the perception of silencing political opponents.
