Following an alleged defamatory statement shared on Twitter and other social media platforms by a group over sexually offensive threats hurled against a twitter user by Bello El-Rufai, the wife of Kaduna State Governor, Hadiza El-Rufai has demanded for apology and retraction from Social media activists under the name North Normal Group.
Recall that the North Normal Group had questioned the Kaduna First Lady’s competence as the Chairman of Kaduna State Sexual Assault Taskforce, after accusing her of endorsing her son, Bello’s “alleged gang-rape threat” with her comment of “All is fair in love and war” in the wake of his tweet which triggered a social media storm.
Reacting to the statement issued by the group, Hadiza Bello countered the allegation through her lawyers and insisted that she is not a rape enabler or an apologist for sexual and gender-based violence.
She backed her stance with tweets she later shared after going through 32-year-old Bello El-Rufai’s tweets.
Hadiza El-Rufai also demanded a retraction and an apology from North Normal group and requested that key members of the group were also asked to post a one minute video in which they will apologize to the Kaduna First Lady on their private Twitter pages with 7 days of receiving the notice.
