THE family of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has given the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, seven days to provide evidence for his allegation that the former governor deliberately planned killings in Southern Kaduna or publicly retract the statement and apologise.
In a statement issued on Monday and signed by Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, the former governor’s eldest son, the El-Rufai family described Musa’s allegation as grave and said it had been made without evidence.
““In the absence of such evidence, we call on him to publicly retract the allegation through the same medium on which it was made. Accordingly, General Musa (Rtd.) is hereby given seven (7) days from the date of this statement to either provide evidence in support of his allegation or issue a full public retraction and apology,” the family said.
