Former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has threatened legal action against the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (retd.), over alleged defamatory remarks made during a recent television interview.
In a formal letter of claim issued through his legal team,
El-Rufai demanded an immediate retraction, an unreserved apology, and the
preservation of relevant evidence.
The letter, dated September 7, 2026, was issued by the
Chambers of Ubong Akpan, acting on behalf of El-Rufai.
El-Rufai’s lawyers complained about several statements
allegedly made during the programme broadcast on September 3, 2026, including
remarks concerning bandits, killings, demolitions, ransom payments and
El-Rufai’s alleged conduct while serving as Governor of Kaduna State.
The solicitors described the statements as defamatory and
said the broadcast remains accessible through terrestrial television, satellite
television and online streaming platforms.
The lawyers gave the defence minister and his
representatives 24 hours to acknowledge receipt and seven days to provide a
substantive written response to the demands.
They stressed that El-Rufai reserves the right to pursue any
legal remedies available to him if the matter is not resolved.
