**Kaduna Voices United Unleash Mass Protests: Holding El-Rufai Accountable for Human Rights Abuses** In a bold move, Kaduna Voices United, a coalition of civil society groups, has announced plans to stage massive protests across Kaduna State. The demonstrations are aimed at demanding continued probe into the administration of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who is accused of human rights violations during his tenure. The protests, scheduled to take place in major locations across the state, will culminate in a central demonstration in Kaduna city. The group, led by Coordinator Nura Basiru, has vowed to hold El-Rufai accountable for the alleged suppression of dissent, extrajudicial killings, and disregard for judicial authority during his administration. **Uncovering the Dark Legacy of El-Rufai's Tenure** The Kaduna Voices United sees El-Rufai's administration as a dark chapter in the state's history. The group highlights the infamous Zaria Shiite Massacre in December 2015, where government forces clashed with the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), led by Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, resulting in the death of hundreds. The International Human Rights Commission condemned the Nigerian Army's excessive use of force, which violated the fundamental rights of peaceful citizens. **Accountability for State-Sanctioned Violence** Numerous reports have accused El-Rufai's administration of using the Department of State Services (DSS) to suppress protests with excessive force and intimidation. Activists and ordinary citizens have suffered brutal crackdowns, leading to numerous extrajudicial killings. The group stands firm in demanding justice for these victims and their families, citing the condemnation of the Human Rights Watch, which emphasized that civilians engaged in peaceful protests should not be subjected to violence. **The Disappearance of Abu Inusa: A Lingering Question** The group also highlights the unresolved disappearance of Kaduna-based activist Abu Inusa, whose case remains a mystery to this day. The protests will be a testament to the collective demand for justice and accountability for the victims of El-Rufai's administration. **A Call to Action** As the protests approach, Kaduna Voices United is calling on all concerned citizens to join the movement and demand justice for the victims of human rights abuses. The group believes that it is time to hold El-Rufai accountable for his actions and ensure that those responsible for the violations are brought to justice. The outcome of
