Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has threatened to kill foreigners that look to intervene in Nigeria’s forthcoming election.
Speaking on National Television Authority’s Tuesday Live, Mr El-Rufai said that should these foreigners intervene, they will leave in “body bags”.
According to him, Nigeria is an independent country and doesn’t need foreigners telling her what to do.

“Those that are calling for anyone to come and intervene in Nigeria, we are waiting for the person that would come and intervene, they would go back in body bags,” the Kaduna state governor said.
He called Nigeria’s intervention in Sierra Leone and Liberia’s political affairs in the past out of “good neighbourliness” while stating it came on the back of a consensus by the international community.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that Mr El-Rufai’s comment is coming weeks after the international community including the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union expressed concerns over the elections after the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen.
