Popular Nigerian activist, Deji Adeyanju has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Services (DSS) to probe the former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai.
Speaking via a statement on Thursday, Adeyanju cited allegations of corruption and concerns about how insecurity was managed while El-Rufai was in office.
He questioned El-Rufai’s claim of political persecution, while pointing out his administration was frequently criticized for suppressing opposing voices.
Adeyanju urged the anti-corruption agency and the intelligence service to act with fairness and independence, insisting that accountability must apply to all public officials, past or present.
He further asked the DSS to investigate purportedly contentious security strategies linked to El-Rufai’s administration, including allegations that financial inducements were given to violent groups.
Adeyanju said: “I call on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Services (DSS) to immediately investigate former Governor Nasir El-Rufai over allegations of corruption and his handling of insecurity during his time in office. No one should be above the law.
“If there are questions about financial misconduct or abuse of office, he must give a full account, and the relevant agencies must not succumb to any form of blackmail or intimidation.
“It is strange to hear claims of political persecution from a man whose administration was repeatedly accused of silencing critics.
“Several individuals who spoke against his government, including activists, religious leaders, and public commentators, were reportedly arrested, harassed, or intimidated.
“The unresolved disappearance of one of his prominent critics, who was abducted in front of his family, remains a painful reminder of that era and must not be forgotten.
“Furthermore, the DSS should investigate reported claims that his government engaged in controversial security arrangements, including allegations that payments were made to violent actors.” See more
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
