A fellow of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Prof Udenta Udenta, says former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai should not be kept in perpetuity in detention because of investigation.
Udenta stated this on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
He said they must let El-Rufai be, stressing that the former governor has to be presumed innocent, and they can carry out investigations without him being in custody.
The professor also suggested that they can take El-Rufai’s passport and limit his movements.
“You cannot keep a man in perpetuity in detention because you are doing investigation. That is injustice,” he said.
CityNews reports that El-Rufai has been in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, since he got back from Egypt.
He was charged for wire-tapping the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, and later arraigned in another court in Kaduna State.
