El-Rufai demands ₦10bn, apology from defence minister over Southern Kaduna allegation

Former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai's lawyers have demanded ₦10 billion and a public apology from Nigeria's defence minister over an allegation concerning Southern Kaduna. The demand is framed as a proposed settlement, not a court-awarded judgment, leaving the minister's response and potential legal escalation uncertain. This marks a notable legal confrontation between a prominent political figure and a senior government official, with implications for Nigerian political dynamics.
