Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has accused the erstwhile governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, of allegedly orchestrating the killing of residents of the state while in office.
Reno’s allegations followed a recent remark by the former governor, who said he no longer recognises the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
El-Rufai claimed the party no longer practises internal democracy, accusing the APC of abandoning its founding principles and fostering poor leadership.

Reacting, Reno, in a post on his official X handle, attacked El-Rufai, stating:
“You are a bloodthirsty tyrant, and because you no longer see blood flowing on the streets of Kaduna, you are unable to recognise Nigeria!
“The reason you, Nasir el-Rufai, the Butcher of Kaduna, no longer recognise Nigeria is because, while you were Governor of Kaduna, there were industrial-scale mass killings of Christians in Southern Kaduna after you admitted paying herdsmen, and mass murders of Shiites in Northern Kaduna after your government admitted invading their compound in Zaria and killing almost a thousand Shia men, women, children and infants.
“All of that ended as soon as you left office.”
In other news, Nigerian human rights lawyer, Femi Falana SAN has said the bail condition for Omoyele Sowore’s release from police custody had been declared illegal.
The Eastern Updates reports that Sowore, who was invited by the Nigeria Police on Monday, was asked to produce a level 16 civil servant and surrender his international passport as condition for his bail.
But Sowore, a popular activist and politician outrightly rejected the condition and opted to remain in custody.
