It is only in Nigeria that people can make such crazy claims and get away free. el-Rufai wants the committee to talk to his body to whom one of the lands was given to instead of himself. He also exonorates himself from the ill of allocating a parcel of land to a 9-day old baby, Aisha Abubakar, by saying that he is not a clerk. What a country? It borders on corruption and ignorance of the rule of law.
