The story behind that lie Elrufai told is crazy. When I got to prison, I met a certain Adamu (not real name), a Fulani young man from cashew village (not real name) who told me that Elrufai after publicly saying that Fulani were killed, invited all fulani Ardos (leaders) from southern Kaduna and beyond and queried why they were quiet when their people are being killed. He sanctioned a reprisal which his govt will support and fund. Adamu told me that when his father returned from the said meeting, he told his children not to take part in the reprisal, citing that no Fulani was killed in Kajuru.
@ChidiOdinkalu was at the forefront of calling our Elrufai for that lie, the regional head of NEMA also debunked the claim, in fact the then police commissioner in Kaduna also debunked it and was maliciously redeployed for refusing to play ball.
If Nigeria were to be a sane country, Elrufai should be in jail now cooling his fit but today he is championing good governances 😁😁😁😁
