  Police Fire Tear Gas to Disperse #FearlessInOctober Protesters at Utako Market in Abuja Officers of the Nigeria Police Force have fired tear gas at #FearlessInOctober protesters gathered at Utako Market in Abuja on October 1, 2024. The demonstration, which began early in the morning, aimed to address the economic hardships faced by Nigerians due to government policies. However, police swiftly intervened around 8:54 a.m., dispersing the crowd and causing chaos as demonstrators fled from the tear gas fumes. The protest is a continuation of the earlier #EndBadGovernance demonstrations held in August, reflecting widespread discontent over rising living costs and government inefficiencies. Organizers, including civil society groups like the Take It Back Movement, expressed their determination to voice grievances despite the police's aggressive response. Eyewitnesses reported that protesters chanted slogans and displayed placards demanding action on issues such as high electricity tari

'I DIDN'T STEAL AS GOVERNOR, I'M READY TO SWEAR WITH QURAN'- EL-RUFAI. (PHOTO).

 ‘I didn’t steal as governor, I’m ready to swear with Quran’ -El-Rufai


The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has insisted that he did not embezzle public funds while in office, saying he is ready to swear with Qur’an.

The former governor said he joined politics solely to serve the people, not to seek money or steal public funds.

El-Rufai made this statement during a Hausa program aired on Freedom Radio station in Kaduna on Tuesday morning.

He stressed that he was content with what he had even before becoming governor.

Recall that the Kaduna State House of Assembly indicted El-Rufai’s administration for allegedly misappropriating over N423 billion during his eight-year tenure.

However, the ex-governor and his allies have denied the allegations, claiming they are being witch-hunted by the Assembly and the state government.

El-Rufai added that he is prepared to swear on the Quran whenever former state governors and current leaders do the same to affirm they never misappropriated public funds.

He said, “I was quiet to see how things would turn out, but for me, I always ask God to help me in whatever I do in life because, as a human being, I always try not to do anything wrong or betray the people’s trust.

“I always say that whenever the former governors of Kaduna State and other leaders decide to take an oath swearing with the Quran that they never took people’s money, I’m also ready to swear. This is because I know that I didn’t go into public service to steal or take people’s money. I joined politics only to serve the people of Kaduna State; I didn’t come to look for money, because I give glory to God that I’m content with what I had even before becoming governor. Yet, we were accused of misappropriation of funds during our tenure without being given a specific area where the money went missing or who took it.

“Yet they are going after my allies by inviting them to the ICPC and EFCC with the intention of tarnishing their names. As for me, I had already prayed two Raka’at on Friday night, leaving everything to God, seeking His judgment. This is why I’m not saying much about the issue.”
