El-Rufai shut down, withdraw banks' C of O? Fresh fact emerges

Legit.ng earlier reported that the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, has cursed a netizen who alleged that the governor had marked many bank buildings with X for demolition.

The netizen also claimed that the governor had withdrawn many banks' CofO in the state for rejecting old N500 and N1000 notes in line with the Supreme Court's injunction.

Responding to the allegation, El-Rufai told the social media user to show a picture of the bank building with a demolition mark rather than spreading false information.
