Former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has issued a stern warning to former Defence Minister, General Christopher Musa, over remarks he allegedly made during a television interview. In a formal letter of claim, El-Rufai's legal team demanded an immediate retraction and an unreserved apology for statements concerning bandits, killings, demolitions, ransom payments, and El-Rufai's conduct during his tenure as Kaduna State Governor.
These statements, made during a programme broadcast on September 3, 2026, remain accessible through various channels, including terrestrial television, satellite television, and online streaming platforms. The lawyers have given Musa and his representatives 24 hours to acknowledge receipt of the letter and seven days to provide a substantive written response. They emphasized El-Rufai's right to pursue any legal remedies if the issue remains unresolved.
