There was high drama in Abuja on Monday as protesters stormed the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), demanding accountability in the ongoing prosecution of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The group, Mega National Movement for Good Governance (MNMGG), arrived in numbers, chanting solidarity songs and waving placards boldly declaring: “No Sacred Cows”, “Justice Must Prevail”, and “They Must Be Held Accountable!”
Spokesperson Muhammad Abdullahi fired warning shots, insisting the matter must not be twisted into politics.
“This is about accountability, not persecution. Let the courts decide,” he declared, urging the former governor to submit to due process.
The protesters referenced the 2024 report of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, which allegedly flagged issues surrounding contracts and the state’s debt profile. They called on anti-graft agencies to act “without fear or favour”, citing constitutional backing.
Responding on behalf of EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede, the Commission’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, assured the crowd that due process would be strictly followed.
