Shiite leader El-Zakzaky will pay for crimes committed - says El-Rufai

Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai told newsmen on Saturday shortly after the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) meeting in Kaduna that Shiite leader, Sheikh El-Zakzaky will pay for crimes he may have committed.

"The leader of the movement is in custody, he will be prosecuted for any crimes that he may have committed,'' he said. ''But that is the decision for the federal authorities. There are state and federal crimes. There is a government and a constitution and we are resolved to follow the constitution and due process.''
