NAIJ.com gathers that Shettima highlighted the case of former National Security Officer, Sambo Dasuki, and former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa; and wondered why the president was not going after other individuals who were also accused of receiving money.
He stated: “There seems to be concerted efforts to turn the tables against Dr. Bafarawa.
“To single him out for trial amounts to selective justice, which is harmful to democracy and the Rule of Law.
“Records at the disposal of our forum indicate that while the five other politicians have no evidence of whether they disbursed the monies given to them during the campaigns as promised or not, Bafarawa did pay all the stakeholders he was assigned to pay, through electronic funds transfer.
“Instead of pocketing the money for personal gains, Bafarawa decided to pay up as appropriate and even made voluntary additional contribution of N200,000 from his private savings.”
In the spirit of fair play, Shettima called for an immediate correction in the processes, as he noted that Bafarawa is not being subjected to “established procedures of investigation, thereby making the agencies in charge of the case vulnerable to selective justice.”
