TRUST DIALOGUE: Detention without probe must end – El-Rufai

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has criticised what he described as the growing culture of unlawful detention in Nigeria, warning that the practice undermines democracy and erodes public trust in government.

El-Rufai spoke on Thursday at the 23rd Annual Trust Dialogue held at the Nigerian Air Force Conference Centre, Kado, Abuja.

He stressed that the justice system should serve to protect citizens rather than instil fear in them.

“The law should protect citizens, not terrify them like what is happening in Nigeria. Detention without enforcement must end,” El-Rufai said.

He argued that the continued holding of individuals without due process violates fundamental human rights and contradicts the principles of the rule of law enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.

The ex-governor said no society can thrive where security agencies operate outside legal boundaries, adding that the misuse of state power to intimidate or suppress citizens weakens democratic institutions.

EducationRe: Soludo Threatens To Shut Private Schools That Fail To Open On Mondays by naptu2: 7:55pm On Jan 29
Governor Soludo's closure of Onitsha Main Market

1) Every sensible person knows that Nnamdi Kanu began the practice of declaring sit at home protests. He usually threatened to declare sit-at-home protests on elections days (though he often made U-turns when politicians approached him). There were also sit-at-home protests to mark specific dates that were significant during the Civil War.

2) Every sensible person also knows that Kanu and his faction of Ipob abandoned the sit-at-home protests after he was detained. They were seeking a political solution to his detention and staging sit-at-home protests would make things difficult for him.

3) Every sensible person knows that Simon Ekpa and his autopiloters hijacked the protest. Armed autopiloters usually staged violent raids on Sundays in order to frighten people and prevent them from coming out on Mondays. I created a lot of threads about these raids and Ekpa often boasted about it.

4) Everybody knows that Ekpa held unending fund raising campaigns in order to raise money to finance the attacks.

5) Everybody also knows that the violence drastically reduced after Ekpa was arrested.

6) The violence reduced for 3 main reasons (A) Ekpa was in jail and so could no longer finance the terrorists. (B) The new leadership of the Autopiloters decided to focus on hiring lobyists to help them get American politicians on their side. It would look bad if they were meeting with American politicians and also financing terrorists.

7) The people on those threads cannot say anything meaningful and their little attempt to make sense is turned into nonsense by the next thing that I will write.

8 ) Nigerians governments, both at the federal and state levels, have done a lot to end the violence in the East. Governor Soludo did not just wake up and close Onitsha Main Market as his first step in solving the problem. Quite a lot of things have been done to solve the issue.

9) The Nigerian Federal Government put a lot of pressure on Finland to solve the problem of Simon Ekpa and he was eventually tried and jailed. Troops were also deployed to deal with the terrorists in the forests.

10) Governor Soludo met with Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS cell in Abuja in order to get him to end the protest. Kanu told the governor that he had nothing to do with the protest. Days afterwards, when his lawyers visited him, Nnamdi Kanu gave them instructions that they should make a press statement that he had disowned the sit-at-home protest and that he was against vilolence.

11) Governor Soludo also met with traders, unions, the clergy, politicians, etc in order to end the violence and sit-at-home protest. They even held a Holy Mass to signify the end of the sit-at-home protest.

12) Governor Soludo has donated a lot of equipment to the police, military and other security agencies in order to help them tackle the problem. The last round of donations was just a few days ago.

13) In fact, the Anambra State Government went as far as creating its own security outfit called Udo Ga-achi

14) These measures have worked. Previously I made threads about Autopilot attacks almost every week. Nowadays we rarely hear about attacks. People now use Mondays to hold weddings and other parties. As the governor said, he passed other markets on his way to Onitsha and they were open.

15) The fact is that there are Ipob and Autopilot sympathisers that do not want the sit-at-home protest to end. I have told you about all the measures that government has taken to end the violence and protest, these people have launched massive propaganda against all of them.

16) They said that Autopilot attacks were being done by Fulani herdsmen and all sorts of people, they said that Simon Ekpa was sponsored by Bola Tinubu, they said that Nigerian Army was massacring innocent people, they said that Simon Ekpa had not been arrested, they claimed that Udo Ga-achi was killing innocent people, there is nothing that they did not say.

17) Now the story is that Soludo has not done anything to provide security, that he is wicked, that he didn't consult anyone, etc. The simple truth is that they do not want the sit-at-home to end.

It gives them something to complain about.

As I said, many of them are Ipob and Autopilot supporters and they'll never want it to end.

Meanwhile the government constructed that market so that economic activities will take place. It generates revenue from the economic activities that take place there. It is a market, anyone that does not want to use it to trade and raise revenue for the government should be removed and replaced with someone that's ready to trade.

Meanwhile, sit at home has nothing to do with Nnamdi Kanu.

Governor Soludo visited Kanu when he was in the DSS detention centre and Kanu said that he did not authorise it.

Nnamdi Kanu also told his lawyers to make a statement that he was against the Monday sit at home order.

The person behind the Monday sit at home order, Simon Ekpa, is now in prison in Finland.

"forcing them out on Monday or trying to stop the sit at home without the release of the ipob leader with create the insecurity"

Tell me something!

So who is behind the insecurity and who are the people causing thr insecurity?

What is the nature of this insecurity?

Why is it only when the Ipob leader is detained and people go out on Mondays that the insecurity will appear??

And how come people play football and go to parties on Monday without the insecurity?

Did you watch the video? The governor said that other markets were open and people were trading and it was difficult for his motorcade to pass. So how come there is no insecurity at other markets, only at Onitsha Main Market?

Nigerians thought by now the east will be tired,but the SE can sit at home every Monday till the end of time until the ipob leader is released.

So why are some people now talking about security if this is true.

This issue did not begin in one day. The Anambra State Government has been working on this issue for the past few years.

They've held meetings with the traders, invested in security, met with the Federal Government and even held a church service.

Simon Ekpa has been arrested since then and the security situation has improved. The traders have been warned a long time ago that the market will be shut if they don't open on Mondays.
