Speaking further, El-Rufai said “We are going to arrest the Arewa Youth and bring them to justice no matter how long it takes. Since the press conference was done in Kaduna.

“If they had done it in any other place, we would have just condemned them but since it’s in Kaduna, we are going to arrest them.”

Governor El-Rufai’s recent comment is coming weeks after he reportedly ordered security operatives to arrest the youths who issued the ultimatum.
