It's Wrong Kanu Got Life Sentence While Terrorists Got 20 Years - Bello El-rufai by Segunbabba(op): 10:37am On Dec 01, 2025

Hon. Muhammad Bello El-Rufai criticised the judicial system for giving IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu a life sentence while other Boko Haram members received only 20 years He warned that inconsistent justice delivery worsens insecurity, and stressed the need for proper execution of security plans and improved policing El-Rufai advocated for decentralised policing, state police, involvement of traditional leaders, and youth development to reduce crime and radicalisation in Northern Nigeria.

A member representing Kaduna North federal constituency, Hon. Muhammad Bello El-Rufai, has raised concerns over what he described as a glaring disparity in Nigeria’s judicial system. Speaking during plenary, El-Rufai questioned why the proscribed IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu was handed a life sentence while Boko Haram member Hussaini Ismail received only 20 years for the same crime.

The Kaduna lawmaker warned that inconsistencies in justice delivery risk worsening Nigeria’s fragile security climate. “I don’t understand why one terrorist gets 20 years and the other gets life. There’s this idea that justice is served differently, and it affects the problem,” El-Rufai said.

He argued that disparity in punishment feeds public perception that the judicial system treats groups and regions differently, an issue he said must be urgently addressed if the government hopes to win public trust in its fight against insecurity.

Everyone knows Kanu was unjustly sentenced to life imprisonment when people like MC Oluomo is still roaming free.

For the courts to be fair in handing Kanu a life sentence, Reno, MC Oluomo, FFK, Abike Dabiri, Ahmed Bashir, Bayo, and others should face the same consequences.

They have all, at different points, preached hate against the Igbos.

Justice should be fair and not one-sided.

Who would have expected this from the Elrufai clan?
Dude was trying to be objective. Lots of folks like that up north
I have said it here many times; It is easier to see a northerner being objective politically than a garrulous South Westerner.

Kanus core vitriol was directed at Buhari and the fulani, but it is the Yorubas that has taken greatest umbrage to that. Somehow they have managed to insert themselves into the middle of the whole mess just to engage in their petty tribal taunts..
The South West needs to do some soul searching..

Make South East political leaders build bridges to reach the other side, Dem say cement too cost say na ladder Dem go use cross to the other side.

Dem never reach half way, the ladder don dey shake.

My own curiosity be say, those who have been claiming to be close to president Tinubu who are from South East, what precisely is their closeness/relevant for if they can't seek for the release of Kanu with president Tinubu except...

They will start saying sweet things people want to hear just to make people see Fulani Meuslim mordrers as not-so-bad people.

Their taqqiyah has gone political!

When his father paid Fulani Meuslim mordrers for keiling thousands in southern Kaduna, what did he say then?! He was mute. His sense of justice went into hibernation then, but suddenly came back to life now that more fingers are pointing at Fulani Meuslim mordrers!
