Imran U. Wakili, a popular social media commentator, has alleged that the sudden release of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) suggests he was unjustly detained.
According to reports, the anti-corruption agency freed the former governor shortly after news emerged on Friday about the death of his mother, Hajiya Umma.
Reacting in a post on X, Wakili argued that the prolonged detention of the former governor was not based on any proven offence, claiming instead that the move was intended to humiliate him.
He further stated that the timing of the release raises questions about the motives behind the arrest and detention.
“The sudden release of Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai shows that they were only keeping him to humiliate him, not because he committed any crime,” Wakili wrote.
He added that while the release may suggest “a little conscience,” it also highlights what he described as unjust treatment.
