Human rights lawyer and activist, Chidi Odinkalu, has alleged that he narrowly escaped an abduction in the past, accusing former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El‑Rufai of hypocrisy over claims of adherence to due process.
Odinkalu made the allegation on Saturday in a post on X, whole reacting to what he described as El-Rufai’s recent public posture as an advocate of due process.
Recall that recently El-Rufai alleged attempted arrest by security operatives on return from Cairo in Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Reacting in a post, Odinkalu said that while El-Rufai, now presents himself as a champion of legality, however, events during his time in office told a different story.
He alleged that in the case of a police officer, he had never met intervened after discovering plans that could have led to his abduction.
“Today, the #VileLittleMan, @elrufai, is an apostle of due process, spreading spittle from studio to studio,” Odinkalu wrote. “In my case, it was a police officer I had never met who saw what they were cooking up who made the call that almost assuredly saved me from abduction at his hands.”
