Senator Shehu Sani (Kaduna Central), has walked out of an event in Kaduna to protest the attendance of Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

The event held Thursday was the launching of the Kaduna Zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), at Wurno Road Premium Times reports.

The anti-graft agency had invited both the Senator and the Governor to the event but Sani drove out of the venue when he noticed El-Rufai’s presence.

He later said, “I honoured the invitation to launch the zonal office of the EFCC and to participate in a stakeholders forum.

“I don’t think someone invited in this event fits into the philosophy and principles of the EFCC.

“I don’t know how the EFCC can squarely investigate corruption cases in Kaduna with some of this characters cutting the tape of their new abode,” Sani said.

Other dignitaries who attended the event are the Senator representing Kaduna North, Sulaiman Hunkuyi, immediate past governor of the state, Ramalan Yero, the EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, and the representative of Shehu Idris, the Emir of Zazzau, among others.
