BODY BAGS” THREAT : El-Rufai Under Attack After The Killing Of Faye Mooney

Kaduna state Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has come under attack following the death of a British Aid worker in Kaduna on Sunday.

Two people, including 29-year-old Faye Mooney, were shot dead and four tourists abducted in an attack by armed gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers, on a holiday resort in the northwestern part of Nigeria.

Following her death, former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, recalled El-Rufai’s promise that foreigners who intervene in Nigeria‘s 2019 election would return home in “body bags”.

Two months ago, El-Rufai during a live interview on NTA, while responding to questions on the criticisms made by the United States, European Union and the United Kingdom on the credibility of the election following President Muhammadu Buhari’s controversial suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, had said, “Those that are calling for anyone to come and intervene in Nigeria, we are waiting for the persons that would come and intervene, they would go back in body bags.”

Omokri, in a statement said although the Governor may not have targeted the foreigner, “the words of a leader inspire the led.”
