 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007.

 Shehu Sani: El-Rufai never fought for democracy, governed with arrogance


Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna central, says Nasir el-Rufai, ex-governor of the state, never fought for democracy and ruled with arrogance.

Speaking on TVC’s Politics Tonight on Monday, Sani said el-Rufai has been “angry and frustrated” since leaving office in 2023.

“For people like Nasir, when they found themselves in the position of office, they don’t know what democracy is all about because they didn’t fight for it,” Sani said.

“He was an unknown figure before 1999 and became DG of BPE. He has never been in a cell for one day. He has never been in prison.

“For me, as you see me here, I have been through the rough times of my life. I have been through many prisons. I have been through many police stations.

“I have served so many years. I wore prison uniform. I wore leg chain. I wore handcuffs as a political prisoner fighting for this democracy that is 25 years old.”

Sani said politicians like el-Rufai, “who benefitted from the establishment without personal sacrifice”, govern with arrogance once in power.

The former lawmaker described the ex-minister as “angry and frustrated after failing to maintain political control” in Kaduna and at the federal level.

“He had this high sense of entitlement and expectation that he’s going to have a governor he can manipulate in Kaduna state. That failed,” he said.

“He thought he was going to be in the cycle of power at the federal level. That also failed. And now he has returned back to mischief.”

On Sunday, el-Rufai alleged that suspected thugs who invaded the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition meeting in Kaduna were government-sponsored.
