Elrufa’i: Now went to court to make things easier for kwamatee to prove their claim.

Kwamatee: We are not prepared. Our documents are not ready. We are still spiral binding the investigation report🥴

Judge sitting at chair:

Earlier today, after the press conference held by the cabinet members of Kaduna State between 2015-2023.

The truth must prevail!

Wallahi, these compound fools have started something they can't finish. Whoever their backers are, wherever they are from, we are ready & this is only just the beginning. Every single allegation shall be debunked & every single bastard must prove how Mallam @elrufai stole 423BN.

I can imagine your pain, but there's no harm in explaining. He should also come forward with details on how our resources were spent.

And that's what he's doing.

Former cabinet members in the administration of Nasir el-Rufai, the ex-governor of Kaduna, have reacted to the probe of their principal by the state house of assembly.

In a statement on Tuesday, eight former commissioners under the el-Rufai administration described the probe as an “attempt to inflict maximum reputational damage on certain selected members of the Kaduna State Executive Council, Class of 2015-2023”.

On March 30, Uba Sani, the incumbent governor of Kaduna, said his administration inherited a debt of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from the el-Rufai administration.

He said the huge debt burden is eating deep into the state’s share of the monthly federation allocation.

Subsequently, the state’s assembly set up a committee to probe the finances of Kaduna under the former administration.

On June 5, the Kaduna assembly recommended the probe of el-Rufai over the allegation of public funds diversion and money laundering.

The assembly made the recommendation after a report by the ad hoc committee.

However, the former cabinet members said the committee’s report “oozes malice and patent unfairness” toward the administration of the former governor.

The former cabinet members include Jafaru Sani, commissioner for education; Hafsat Baba, commissioner for human services and social development; Thomas Gyang, commissioner for public works and infrastructure, planning, and budget; Bashir Saidu, commissioner for finance; Ibrahim Husaini, commissioner for agriculture and environment; Aisha Dikko, commissioner for justice; Fausat Ibikunle, commissioner for housing and urban development; and Idris Nyam, former commissioner for business, innovation, and technology.

They said there is a dissonance between the recommendations of the assembly and the testimonies of the ad-hoc committee.

The ex-cabinet members also faulted discrepancies in the figures mentioned in the ad committee’s report, adding that “scrutiny of the report easily shows that the ad-hoc committee is inconsistent.”

“Why would the House of Assembly be unable to officially release the report to persons who were summoned by its ad-hoc committee, which took their testimonies and then proceeded to write baseless recommendations?” the statement reads.

“As senior officials in the El-Rufai Administration, which served the people of Kaduna State between May 2015 and May 2023, we restate our pride in the dedication and integrity of our service.

“We have previously described the report circulating on social media as an unprofessional document, tainted by bias, exhibiting no serious interest in establishing facts.

“It is apparent that the report is riddled with inaccuracies and instances of falsification and misrepresentation of the testimonies provided by invited officials.

“There is a dissonance between its recommendations and the testimonies the ad-hoc committee heard.

“It bears restating that its conclusions seem to have been decided beforehand and were insulated from the facts.”

GloriousGbola:
Or is this one of the ways he finances his operations 🤔

I've heard this news and it's quite impressive. I'm however surprised that no pictures or videos of the killed kidnappers.

You try not to kill all, you try to get one or two alive for intelligence gathering. Surely, these are not the last kidnappers in Lagos.

Anyway, very commendable by the Nigerian police, who know how to work when they want to.

Lezzlie:
stop getting sensitive like a teenage girl.

I'm disputing police report I read here and not mushin residents account .

And yes, Nigeria police are notoriously low IQ and always attract bad candidates and if you use them as standard to measure "sense", then it's no wonder you write and reason the way you do

Lezzlie:
Police have details of monies paid and those kidnapped and didn't have details of any of the so-called kidnapers.

Shooting lasted 3 hours but two kidnappers still ran into the crowd. So people were hanging around in a 3-hour gun battle in Lagos?

If police killed 9 kidnapers in a single operation in broad day light, we won't be reading it on vanguard, it will be all over social media within minutes.

No be everything be bash.
Use your sense sometimes.
Re-read the article slowly. If it makes sense to you, then you're cognitively impaired.

Lezzlie:
I never knew police has the skills for pitching fiction.

I recommend this movie for the Oscars
