**El-Rufai's Detention: FG Told to Act Fast or Face Constitutional Consequences** Aminu Datti-Ahmed, the leader of the Coalition Political Action Committee (COPAC), has issued a stern warning to the Federal Government regarding the prolonged detention of Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna State. According to Datti-Ahmed, the government must either release El-Rufai from custody or formally charge him with a crime. El-Rufai, a well-known politician, has been in detention for an extended period. His remand order, which allowed his detention, has expired. Datti-Ahmed argues that keeping him in custody beyond the expiration of the remand order would be a blatant disregard for the Nigerian Constitution. This constitutional provision is in place to protect citizens' rights and prevent arbitrary detention. In a statement, Datti-Ahmed emphasized that the government's inaction in this matter is unacceptable. He noted that the Constitution is clear on the issue of detention without charges, and any failure to respect this provision would be a serious breach of the law. The Kaduna State chapter of the Coalition of Northern Groups has previously expressed concerns about El-Rufai's detention. They have demanded that the government provide a clear explanation for his continued detention and either release him or charge him with a crime. This development raises concerns about the rule of law and the government's commitment to upholding constitutional provisions. As Nigerians, we are watching closely to see how the government responds to this warning from COPAC. The controversy surrounding El-Rufai's detention serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the Constitution and respecting the rights of citizens. As a nation, we must ensure that our laws are respected and that the rights of all individuals are protected. Datti-Ahmed's warning to the government is clear: release El-Rufai or file formal charges against him. The clock is ticking, and Nigerians are waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
