Hon. Muhammad Bello El-Rufai criticised the judicial system for giving IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu a life sentence while other Boko Haram members received only 20 years He warned that inconsistent justice delivery worsens insecurity, and stressed the need for proper execution of security plans and improved policing El-Rufai advocated for decentralised policing, state police, involvement of traditional leaders, and youth development to reduce crime and radicalisation in Northern Nigeria.
A member representing Kaduna North federal constituency, Hon. Muhammad Bello El-Rufai, has raised concerns over what he described as a glaring disparity in Nigeria’s judicial system. Speaking during plenary, El-Rufai questioned why the proscribed IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu was handed a life sentence while Boko Haram member Hussaini Ismail received only 20 years for the same crime.
The Kaduna lawmaker warned that inconsistencies in justice delivery risk worsening Nigeria’s fragile security climate. “I don’t understand why one terrorist gets 20 years and the other gets life. There’s this idea that justice is served differently, and it affects the problem,” El-Rufai said.
He argued that disparity in punishment feeds public perception that the judicial system treats groups and regions differently, an issue he said must be urgently addressed if the government hopes to win public trust in its fight against insecurity.
