Atiku Alleges Political Motive in El-Rufai’s Arrest and Arraignment

1 / 2

El-Rufai was taken into DSS custody at the Kaduna Federal High Court moments after his trial was adjourned to April 14 on corruption charges brought by the ICPC. Atiku’s aide, Paul Ibe, argues the re-arrest lacked court approval. He insists El-Rufai deserves permanent release and the freedom to chart his own political course, which he calls the essence of democracy.
