NSCIA alleges religious bias in El-Rufai prosecution

By Luminous Jannamike The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, has raised the alarm over what it described as signs of religious bias in the ongoing prosecution of former Kaduna State governor, Nasiru El-Rufai, warning against the weaponisation of public institutions and the legal system for a sectarian agenda against him.“The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has persistently refrained from commenting on the controversy surrounding the ongoing prosecutions of His Excellency, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, or any political figure.“Consequently, the Council calls upon the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Judiciary to ensure that individuals with vested religious interests are strictly prevented from weaponizing public institutions or the legal system to execute a sectarian agenda against him,” the council said.
