…Threatens to ‘payback those behind travails.’

by Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna 

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Mal. Nasir el-Rufai, has described the imprisonment of his chief of staff, Bashir Saidu, as “unjustifiable.”

He made the assertion in a statement he personally issued yesterday after the release of Bashir Saidu after 50 days in prison remand over alleged frauds.

The former governor, in the statement, blamed the Nigeria Police and some judges over what he described as “obstruction and delay in the bailable offense,” saying, it was quite surprising, and promised to take the matter to court of public opinion.

He also promised to payback those behind the prosecution of Bashir Saidu on/or before 2027 elections, in a statement he titled ‘Kaduna Update,’ and released Wednesday.

“After 50 days of abduction and unjustified incarceration, Bashir Saidu is now free and at home. Bashir has been my friend for over 53 years – a Barewa College classmate, former Commissioner of Local Government, and of Finance, and former Chief of Staff. 

“A grassroots politician, sound technocrat, and true public servant, Bashir largely dominates the progressive politics of Kaduna North and Central Senatorial Districts from the days of APP, ANPP, CPC and the APC. 

“That is the main reason behind his persecution, and the payback to those behind it will be known on/or before the 2027 elections, in sha Allah

“The role of some policemen in the abduction as well as the conduct of some Judges of the Federal High Court, and the State High Court, in obstructing and delaying bail for clearly bailable offenses was quite enlightening and will be tabled in the court of public opinion – when all the facts are assembled. Please, stand by for some interesting insights. Thank you. – Nasir El-Rufai,” he stated.
