Deji Adeyanju, an Abuja-based lawyer and rights activist, has called for an immediate investigation into former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Services (DSS). Adeyanju cited serious allegations of corruption and poor security management during El-Rufai's governorship, suggesting that these issues warrant a thorough examination by relevant authorities. He emphasized the necessity for justice and accountability, insisting that no one is above the law.

In his statement, Adeyanju urged both agencies to take decisive action, pointing to the expectations of the Nigerian public for transparency and justice from their leaders. He expressed concern that failing to pursue these allegations could undermine the rule of law and public confidence in governmental institutions tasked with combatting corruption and ensuring security. As corruption has been a persistent issue in Nigeria, the activist's call for investigation highlights the ongoing struggle for integrity in public service.

The implications of an investigation into El-Rufai could be significant, as it may set a precedent for how corruption allegations against high-profile politicians are handled in Nigeria. Should the EFCC and DSS take up the case, it could not only affect El-Rufai's reputation but also signal to other politicians that accountability is being enforced, potentially changing the landscape of political accountability in the country.
