You’ll be held accountable if anything happens to El-Rufai, Atiku warns Tinubu’s govt

Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar has raised concern over the whereabouts of former Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

Atiku, in a post on his X handle, @atiku, demanded for clarity on the particular agency of the Federal Government keeping the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory in its custody.

Checks revealed that Mallam El-Rufai is being investigated for alleged financial sleaze by both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).

He is equally to be tried by the State Security Service (SSS), for offences related to cyber crime offences.

Raising concern on health complications, Atiku claimed that “reports that he suffered a nosebleed while family members were allegedly denied access are deeply troubling and unacceptable in a democracy.”

He further cautioned that “if anything happens to El-Rufai, this government will be held accountable.”
