Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has said former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai who oppressed people while in office is crying and begging for rule of law.

El-Rufai made the remark after a failed attempt by security agents to arrest him at the Abuja International airport, upon his return from Cairo in Egypt.

The former governor refused to be arrested, instead demanded that the security operatives should officially send him a letter of invitation.

El-Rufai wrote, ”My lawyers have issued a statement that condemns the illegal attempt to arrest me today at the Abuja airport upon my arrival from Cairo.

“Our country must outgrow executive overreach and deliberate disregard for the rule of law.”

Reacting, Adeyanju posted on X: “El-Rufai who oppressed everyone yesterday is crying and begging for rule of law. Karma, thank you for this.”
