The frustrated Midget Satan Elrufai desperately tried to keep the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife in the illegal detention but failed woefully.
Elrufai changed the Kaduna law in 2017 just to target Sheikh Zakzaky but the trial Judge Gideon Kurada bluntly stated that is not possible.
A Kaduna High Court presided by Justice Gideon Kurada on Wednesday ruled that the charges against El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat were not supposed to be filed, as the Kaduna State Government cannot arraign someone for a crime that was not an offence at the time.

Justice Kurada had found that the charges were filed against El-Zakzaky and his wife in 2018 pursuant to the Penal Law enacted by the state government in 2017 over an alleged offence committed in 2015.
I was credibly informed that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Malami, is clearly against this charade of the Elrufai Shinigami. Malami is presently the most powerful person in the regime.
That notorious child-killer Elrufai who buried our children alive in the multiple Shia mass graves according to the comprehensive report of the London-based Amnesty International on #ZariaGenocide stupidly think he can keep Sheikh Zakzaky in prison until 2023.

It is earlier reported that, a court in Nigeria’s central state of Kaduna has acquitted El- Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, and his wife of all the charges levelled against the duo.
Press TV reported the trial at the Kaduna State High Court started on May 15, 2018 and dragged on for over three years. The high court issued its final verdict on Wednesday, Ishaq Adam Ishaq, their lawyer, said in a statement.
They were released from detention following the ruling, he added.
“At last, we defeated them. we won,” hailed the legal representative, adding, “They have gained their freedom. They are now freed and with us.”
Zakzaky and his wife, Mallimah Zeenat, were standing trial in the court on an eight-count charge of alleged culpable homicide, disruption of public peace and unlawful assembly among others levelled against them by the Kaduna state government.
They had pleaded not guitly.
In December 2015, Nigeria’s military launched a crackdown as part of a deadly state-ordered escalation targeting the movement that Abuja has branded as illegal.
The campaign saw the troops attacking Zakzaky’s residence in the town of Zaria in Kaduna, afflicting him and his wife with serious injuries that reportedly caused the cleric to lose his left eye.
During the crackdown, the military also attacked the movement’s members as they were holding religious processions, with the government alleging that the Muslims had blocked a convoy of the country’s defense minister.
