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.

Audu Maikori @Audu

Imagine @elrufai of all people speaking about abductions when both the federal
High court and the court of appeal ruled that your abduction of me in February and march of 2017 was illegal. What was my crime speaking out about your failure to safe guard the lives of your citizens in Kaduna and your clear bias against Southern Kaduna people. This statement is sour grapes , if you had gotten the ministerial position you lobbied desperately you would be singing praises of this same government. You are a sore loser oga

It's the effrontery from Elrufai regarding security issue that I am always curious about.

Meanwhile, all those who condemned Elrufai when he was Kaduna state governor due to security issue most especially in Southern Kaduna have now seen him as their new hero as Elrufai is in opposition with them.

If you listen to those people, my friend, you will be misled to canal

This is not true, maybe you have to mention names of the "All those who criticise him before but see him as hero now"

It’s sad that Nigeria elites does not have any good intentions to help the country. They maintain status quo whenever they are in power, but criticize the system when they are out of power. It’s completely emotional game on the citizens which purely evil. They understand the emotional weakness of the citizens and they keep exploiting it. It’s sad. True leader must be consistent in power and out of power

He can never be a good person, he's always remembered for the way he treated the people of Southern Kaduna

Hell Rufai should stop talking and keep quiet

Hahahaha, e go reach everybody ai 😅. What exactly did Tinubu heard/know about Elrufai .
Tinubu did the unexpected that shocked and surprised everyone 🤷🏿.

Elrufai disgusts.

He should think first before he talk.
Opposition is not madness

Deceptive and desperate midget

Please take a backseat on this one.

helinues:
As how troubled northern zone is, that haven't stop the likes of Ganduje, Elrufai from developing their respective states. Even Zulum is trying his best to change the face of Borno

As how you guys have been shifting all the blames on Fulani for now allowing you develop your region, that won't stop Gov Umahi from developing his state..

You see say na only failure dey blame others for his misfortunes

helinues:
The moment Gov Elrufai cleared the air about Buhari working against Tinubu, then my mind was at rest that we got this.

Thank you Gov Elrufai for being loyal to Southerners

Exactly my point when I talk about the so called opposition. They are nothing but political opportunists and propagandist. Same as the ruling lot. Nigeria is on a long thing, but one thing I know for sure we are not hopeless. Nigeria is the most resilient country in the world. We will figure this people out someday somehow and permanently disable them democratically

El-Rufai taking the form of a humane leader this day in quite surprising and amusing considering his 8-year draconian rule as Kaduna State governor riddled with discriminatory delivery of justice and open hostility against Southern Kaduna..There is no moral ground on which he can stand to cast the first stone because he had been found wanting against what he is preaching today while in power.

How is the above quotes correlate with this discussion?

We are in the morning, make una no start the trolling .

Imagine how this one quickly go dig into my history comments even though nothing harmful in them. That's uninspiring life my friend

Has he accused his conscience about the ones he detained illegally while he was governor of Kaduna state or the ones that disappeared without trace but linked to him and his family? Even if there are no evidence available, humans need to understand that we all face judgement one day. He should keep quiet, they all have a hand in this evil.

Please tell us how they contradicted themselves.

I know you trollers must give the justification why you must troll us

Oya start explaining now. 1,2,3 set go

Honestly those who chose to be trolling others don't have any meaningful life as they always focus on irrelevant while neglecting the main thing.

Imagine how the guy above wanted to blackmail me this morning. How he was able to dig into those threads so early even though both quotes are talking about different things is something really funny. Now compare those quotes with my comments on this thread, they are not just talking about same thing

Abeg, make una concentrate una life on better things and stop the futile years of trolling that you achieved nothing with .

Wickedtruths:
Ogeshy, did they call your name?

Bro, just imagine this early morning how the guy spent his time to be digging into my history even though his quotes are not even relevant to this discussion.

That's why I don't hesitate to block them as they have been doing the boring behavior for years without feeling any remorse.

Imagine such kind of blackmailing early in the morning

Just like those who condemned Wike while he was blasting their 'Messiah n lord and personal saviour, AKA Buhari are now seeing him as their Master and new hero cause he is helping the president in crime destroy every opposition.

This is funny. The guy came with full and personal receipt. Mallam dy fall hand abeg

Who takes obidients serious

Even El-rufai and Atiku fans do not take them serious. They just want to use them achieve their aims

Tinubu till 2031.

The real bandits leader has just spoken in defence of his co travelers. He will soon ask for the unconditional release of the coup plotters. Afterall, they seek to achieve what jelly Rufai has failed at.......

The emotional weakness are
1.We are very forgetful
2.In group bias- Even when we remember or know how stupid someone is he will always resonate with us because he belongs to our tribe,party,religion and share in our hatred for the government....Now the obidients,northerners,ADC faithfuls etc see him as hero despite the fact that he represents everything he condemns...same for APC folks when it comes to Wike

The same way it amuses many when peter OBI speaks as one human right activist,technocrat and economic pundit .
This is a formal governor of a backward state and a VP candidate to somebody he described as criminal and thief in Nigeria, who never studied any econonics related course nor ever fight against power that be untill he wanted to become president.

Politicians,both in ruling party and opposition use our in group bias and forgetfullness to take us gor a ride
