Middle Belt group calls for arrest of El-Rufai over Islamisation comments

The Middle Belt Forum (MBF), has called on the Department of State Service (DSS), to arrest and prosecute the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, over his recent “Islamisation” comments which the body describes as dangerous for Kaduna in particular and Nigeria in general.

The North-Central regional body, in a statement on Sunday, said El-Rufai was a dangerous politician who has continued to play religious politics unmindful of the fact that Nigeria is a multi-religious country.

On the eve of his handing over to incoming Governor Uba Sani,
El-Rufai was captured in a video while addressing Muslim clerics saying he and others were determined to ensure the Muslim-Muslim ticket was sustained for another 20 years to ensure Christians come to terms with the indispensability of the same-faith ticket as a panacea for peace in both Kaduna State and the federal level.
