A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayekooto Akindele, has claimed that former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is attempting to evade possible detention by levelling fresh allegations against the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
Naija News reports that El-Rufai on Sunday accused the Office of the National Security Adviser of importing thallium sulphate, a highly toxic chemical compound, and demanded urgent clarification over the alleged transaction.
The former governor, who is expected to appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Monday over alleged corruption, made the allegation in a letter addressed to the NSA’s office.
Reacting via his 𝕏 handle, Akindele alleged that El-Rufai’s claims were aimed at avoiding detention and potential prosecution.
He wrote, “Again, having openly confessed to a criminal act of hacking on a live TV, he knows that tomorrow may be the beginning of series of trials from the DSS, EFCC, ICPC among others.
“He’s now looking for a way to dodge detention and possible jail. So by alleging poison importation, he is trying to say that detention or cell facilities are suspicious. Unfortunately, he’s just being silly, wasting his hypocritical time.”
The APC chieftain further stated that security agencies should act if they deem it necessary.
“If the DSS or any agency feels that you should be in the custody, so be it. You’re too small to become a national nuisance. Nobody will kpai you, you will only go when Allah says it’s your time. Stop panicking, NASIRU, be a Man!” he added.
