Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has criticised what he described as the misuse of legal processes in handling the case involving former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai.
The development was disclosed in a post shared on his official page.
According to him, concerns were raised over what he termed ‘lawfare’ being deployed against El-Rufai, stressing that legal procedures should not be used as a tool for intimidation.
Sowore called on the courts to uphold the rule of law by granting bail where necessary and ensuring fair trials for all individuals.
“Bail is a constitutional right, not a tool for punishment or intimidation,” he said.
He further argued that using bail conditions to restrict individuals unjustly undermines the justice system.
Sowore added that such practices should be rejected, regardless of who is involved, emphasizing the need for fairness in the application of the law.
