Former FCT Minister Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has demanded that Defence Minister Christopher Musa provide evidence to back up his claim that El-Rufai planned killings in Southern Kaduna during his tenure as governor from 2015 to 2023. Musa made the allegation during an interview on Channels TV's Politics Today show on September 3, describing the situation in Kaduna State during El-Rufai's time as "toxic" and accusing him of dividing the state and ordering the demolition of houses.
