Some residents of Kaduna State are demanding that Governor Uba Sani invite the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and other relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute his predecessor, Nasir El-rufai alleged to have mismanaged N423 billion.
The protesters under the aegis of Kaduna Citizens Watch for Good Governance carried placards with various inscriptions and trekked from the popular UTC bust stop along Sokoto Road to the main entrance into Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House, Kaduna.
This comes days after the ad hoc committee set up by the Kaduna State House of Assembly to investigate all finances, loans, and contracts awarded under the former governor indicted El-Rufai’s administration for reportedly failing to use the obtained loans for designated purposes.
The committee led by Henry Zacharia, who is also the Deputy Speaker of the House, recommended the prosecution of El-Rufai, and some other indicted members of his cabinet by security and anti-corruption agencies for abuse of office and money laundering while in office as well as plaguing Kaduna State into heavy debt.
The probe by the state Assembly was necessitated following the lamentation of the incumbent governor that El-Rufai left him a huge debt profile.
