Press Statement: The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is deeply alarmed by reports that today, officials of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) forcefully denied Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai access to medical care, arrested his personal physician and physically assaulted his wife.
Information reaching us is that El-Rufai was billed for treatment at the National Hospital in Abuja today. But against the hospital's advice that he would require hospitalisation in view of his failing health, officials of the ICPC insisted on returning him into custody. Protests by his personal physician and his wife led to scuffles during which his wife was assaulted and the doctor subsequently arrested.
The actions of the ICPC and the Tinubu government have for months now gone beyond the realm of law enforcement.
Their actions have become an assault on the Constitution of 200 million Nigerians, on human dignity, and on the most basic principles of justice and human rights.
The world should know today that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is holding a political prisoner in Nigeria by the name of Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai.
No democratic government that claims to respect the rule of law should deny a detainee access to medical care or prevent close family members from seeing him in flagrant disobedience of the courts, which granted him unfettered access to his lawyers, physician and family members.
Such conduct belongs to authoritarian regimes that use state institutions to break political opponents rather than to uphold justice.
This is no longer about Mallam El-Rufai alone. It is about whether Nigeria remains a constitutional democracy or has descended into a republic where law enforcement agencies have become instruments of political persecution.
As we have said since this treatment of Mallam El-Rufai began: “Today it is El-Rufai. Tomorrow it could be any Nigerian whose only offence is to disagree with those who wield power.”
The ICPC owes Nigerians immediate explanations. On whose authority was access to his family denied? Why has access to his doctor been refused despite concerns about his health? What legal basis exists for these actions? Why were El-Rufai’s wife and doctor assaulted by the ICPC operatives?
President Tinubu cannot continue to hide behind anti-corruption agencies while pretending that these actions are independent of his administration.
Under our Constitution, the buck stops with the President. Every day that Mallam El-Rufai remains in custody under these circumstances is another day that Bola Tinubu keeps criminalising political opposition instead of confronting the grave crises of insecurity, unemployment, inflation, and hunger confronting millions of Nigerians.
The ADC therefore demands the following:
1. Immediate and unrestricted access for Mallam El-Rufai to his wife, children, legal team, and personal medical practitioners.
2. An urgent review of the punitive and disproportionate bail conditions imposed on Mallam El-Rufai, with a view to ensuring that they conform with the Constitution and the fundamental principle that bail is intended to secure attendance at trial, not to inflict punishment before conviction.
3. An immediate end to the harsh, degrading and unnecessarily restrictive conditions under which he is being held and supervised, and his release from what has become a regime of political persecution masquerading as lawful process.
4. Full compliance with all constitutional guarantees and internationally recognised standards governing the treatment of persons in custody.
5. Complete transparency from the ICPC regarding the legal and factual basis for every restriction imposed on him.
6. An immediate end to the use of state institutions as instruments of political intimidation, vendetta and selective justice.

If the truth be told, I will say the truth irrespective of your understanding about the truth that I am saying. I will not refuse to tell you here that the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not make any effort towards solving the security problem. Promising to fix the security problem and putting effort towards fixing the security problem should both be recognised.

Dear @wisdom_god2861
I wouldn’t know whether this video is doctored
But I didn’t hear anywhere in the video where @STinubu said “we’ve got way too many lazy young youths in this country…….”
This is a good example of a good son promoting the regime of his father and defending it with passion unlike @YusufMBuhari

Here is the tiktoker Abdul Aminu Gwaska, a native of Zamfara State, who acts as the head of a dangerous mining syndicate currently expanding its footprint across Ilesha. The documented evidence reveals that he coordinates multiple high intensity illegal mining sites by actively recruiting a massive influx of external laborers to carry out the physical excavation and processing of gold.
To fuel this operation, his syndicate even utilizes a digital recruitment and sales infrastructure, providing a direct link for individuals to submit their personal information to join the illicit trade or purchase their illegal products.
Furthermore, intelligence shows that Aminu is actively collaborating with local village heads and traditional chiefs, who welcome and house these illegal miners within the community. This high level collusion grants his syndicate a social shield, effectively protecting their activities from accountability while they systematically destroy farmlands and pollute vital water bodies.
If this dangerous partnership between illegal miners and local leadership is allowed to persist, it will inevitably lead to a total security breach. The Osun State government must take immediate and decisive action to dismantle this network before this deep-seated collaboration spirals into an uncontrollable regional crisis

When Kwankwaso was with Buhari in 2015, the APC won all 24 House of Representatives seats and all 3 Senatorial seats in Kano.
In 2019, after Kwankwaso parted ways with Buhari, Buhari’s APC again swept all 24 Reps and 3 Senatorial seats in Kano, while Kwankwaso’s PDP won zero.
Yet today, Kwankwaso boasts of delivering Kano for Buhari in 2015.
May the gentle soul of Buhari continue to rest in peace; no politician alive can match his popularity in Kano and the North at large.
Facts are stubborn.
Wa Alaikumus Salam wa Rahmatul Laah wa Barakaatuh, Sister @Safreenarrhh!
Microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattooing that typically lasts around two years. In most cases, It is done using a blade, similar to a razor, to create small incisions in the eyebrow area and deposit pigment to give the appearance of fuller brows. It is closely related to traditional tattooing.
According to the majority scholarly opinion, microblading falls under the category of changing the creation of Allah, which is among the things Satan promised to lead people into, as mentioned in Surah An-Nisaa 4:117-119. Tattooing is explicitly included within this ruling.
Imam al-Qurtubi (May Allah be merciful to him) stated in his tafsir of this verse, 5/392, that a number of scholars held that changing the creation of Allah refers to tattooing and similar practices undertaken for beautification. This view was reported from Ibn Mas‘ud (May Allah be pleased with him) and al-Hasan al-Basri (May Allah have mercy on him).
For these reasons, it is best to avoid microblading, our sister. The best beauty is the natural one.
Indeed, Allah is the All-Knowing.
