Adeyanju Insists Court Must Back El-Rufai’s Release for Mother’s Burial

Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju calls the decision to free former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai for his mother’s burial both humane and commendable. He highlights that El-Rufai’s initial remand was by court order, so any temporary release must also be supported by a judicial directive. Adeyanju stresses that such accommodations uphold accountability rather than undermine it. He argues that bail—administrative or judicial—represents a lawful, compassionate balance between the demands of justice and respect for human dignity. He praises the authorities for demonstrating empathy while upholding due process. According to Adeyanju, this move affirms the rule of law and safeguards fundamental human rights.
