Supporters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State on Monday staged a peaceful protest over the continued detention of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, without being formally charged in court.
The demonstrators, led by leaders of coalition groups and members of the El-Rufai Support Group, gathered at the ADC state office in Kano to express concern over what they described as prolonged detention without trial.
The protesters carried placards calling for justice for the former governor and demanded his immediate release so he could reunite with his family and continue observing the Ramadan fast.
Speaking during the protest, a leader of the El-Rufai Support Group and a member of the ADC, Al’amin Nuraddeen Amin, said the rally was organised to draw attention to El-Rufai’s situation.
