Releasing El-rufai For Mother's Burial Should Be Backed By Court -Deji Adeyanju by Putindbutt(op): 2:26pm On Mar 28

Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has described the decision to grant former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, temporary release from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to attend his mother’s burial as humane.

Adeyanju stressed the need for proper legal backing.

In a statement he signed, Adeyanju noted that since El-Rufai was remanded by a court order, any temporary release should be supported by a corresponding judicial directive.

He said the move reflects a balance between enforcing the law and respecting human dignity.

“The decision to grant Mallam Nasir El-Rufai temporary release from Independent Corrupt Practices Commission custody to attend his mother’s burial is both humane and commendable but must be backed by court decision/order since he was remanded in custody on the order of the court,” he said.

Adeyanju added that such concessions should not be seen as undermining accountability but rather as lawful and compassionate measures.

“The decision to allow Elrufai to attend his mother’s funeral reflects a necessary balance between the demands of justice and respect for fundamental human dignity.

“Bail, whether administrative or judicial, should not be misconstrued as an escape from accountability, but rather as a lawful and compassionate accommodation in deserving circumstances,” he stated.

He noted that by commending the authorities for demonstrating empathy while adhering to due process.

“This action by the authorities is a welcome demonstration of empathy while upholding the rule of law,” he said.

I am aware that law enforcement agencies could grant a suspect administrative bail or bail on self recognition. However, since he was being detained based on court order, his release however temporary has to be backed by court.

Anyways, no too worry yourself, e sure me say ICPC officials and DSS will be on ground on the burial. Immediately after the burial, dem go drag am inside vehicle enter his cell room that night.

Power is transient.

What goes around, comes around.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

In saner clime, things happen in a particular way. But in an insane clime like Nigeria, things happen in confusing way.

May the soul Mama El Rufai rest in peace. Amen.

I recall when Buhari's mother died while he was in detention, IBB didn't give a hoot about him. He wasn't given any chance to go bury his mother.
And for Elrufai, it seems by popular opinion, lots of Nigerians want to see him end up in jail. Even the "emergency lovers of Elrufai" who called him all sorts of names were also looking forward to a day like this to come.

In which saner clime would a court order the detention of a person and such person would be allowed to go attend his mother burial while standing trial in court?.

I'm sure it's the unlawful detention of El Rufai that led to his mother's death. Which mother would hear that her son is detained without the accusers charging him to court and be happy?

The calamity of being a Nigerian is that the same El Rufai will still hold a leadership position and will fail to reform the necessary institutions to do the right thing. Instead, he will use the institutions to bully his perceived political enemies

Even if Escobar wants to deal with El Rufai, he has a duty to follow the rule of law. Nigerian authorities should stop behaving like animals and some of you get angry when someone calls Nigeria a zoo

Who released El rufai to go home without court order? Opposition or Government? What are you trying to say here?

By the way, it is not the court's business if a detainee is given any kind of concessions by the detaining authority as far as he is provided in court as and when the court needs him.

Listen my friend, the politicians know themselves. It is supporters like you who are manipulated to believe that they hate themselves. Calm down and put Nigeria first rather putting a fellow corrupt Nigerian first because you have some level of affinity with him.

Even same tinubu they are hating because of el rufai has already sent his condolences,same as his arch rival the gov of kaduna state uba sani and NSA ribadu but they are here crying more than the bereaved el rufai who doesn't even care if they have eaten today.

Stop going about fooling yourself, which court are we talking the one that is stalling El rufai detention on the order of the president

All the allegations raised El rufai is bailable offences or not

we all know El Rufai trial has nothing to do with justice, Tinubu just want humilate and force him to bow ...

The malami they arrested, label with terrorism and all kinds of corruption .. Who could have thought he could get bail

I just feel ashame for people like you that follow these people blindly, if El rufai was standing on Tinubu mandate can you swear with your mother life he will be on trial, ex Gov. Okowa 80bn loot we hear anything again ..smh

I sincerely love what Abacha did to south west leaders including Abiola, Obasanjo and many more that was killed in the 90's.

He knows them and how their hearts conditions are and he gave them that wonderful treatment.
