Hours to the May 29 handover, the Kaduna State Government led by Governor Nasir El-Rufai has declared the Atyap Community Development Association as an unlawful society in the state and signed an order to proscribe it

The proscription order noted that the Southern Kaduna association allegedly involved in acts capable of endangering the peace, tranquility, and co-existence and good governance of the state.

A statement by El-Rufai’s spokesman, Muyiwa Adekeye, said the governor signed the Atyap Community Development Association (Proscription) Order, 2023 in the exercise of the powers conferred by Section 60 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law No. 5 of 2017, and Section 5 (2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Nonsense. He did not ban poverty but chose to further advertise his petty prejudice

A Governor has no right to proscribe any group, the constitution is clear

Only the President can prescribe a group, and only through the courts

This is really wrong.

Since when do Governors now proscribe groups they don't like?

Elrufai could not stop all the killings in Southern Kaduna but wants to stop their association.
