Samuel Ogundipe and Bello El-Rufai
After threatening to sexually assault a Twitter user's mother, Bello El-Rufai has threatened a journalist.
Bello El-rufai, son of Nasir El-rufai, governor of Kaduna State has
threatened to file a lawsuit against a journalist, Samuel Ogundipe for
publishing a story about him.
Recall that Bello had over the weekend given Nigerians something to
talk about after threatening to gang rape the mother of a man who
engaged him in a debate on Twitter.
His mother who initially supported him, later apologised for
backing her son’s misconduct saying she reacted before understanding
what led to the dispute.
But on Monday, Mr El-rufai threatened to sue Samuel Ogundipe, a
journalist with Premium Times, one of the mediums that published the
story. He described Mr Ogundipe as a columnist of the opposition party.
“Oh @SamuelOgundipe, our hired PDP columnist, you in particular
were the last piece of the puzzle. I assure you that my lawyers will
get to you to prove the usage/threat of rape. The onus is on you. I
eagerly anticipate the #FreeSamuel hashtag. Thanks for completing the
jigsaw.,” he said in a tweet.
His father’s administration in Kaduna is notoriously known for
arresting critics including journalists whose whereabouts are currently
unknown.
