El-Rufai’s Temporal Release To Attend Mother’s Burial Commendable – Adeyanju

Human Rights Lawyer and Activist Deji Adeyanju, says the decision to grant the immediate past Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai temporary release from the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission ICPC, custody to attend his mother’s burial is both humane and commendable.

Adeyanju, in a statement issued to newsmen in Abuja, explained that the release must be backed by a court’s decision/order since he was remanded in custody on the order of the court.

“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.”

Adeyanju, maintained that the action by the authorities is a welcomed demonstration of empathy while upholding the rule of law.
