Former Kaduna Central senator and human rights activist Shehu Sani has opened up about the challenges he and his colleagues faced during their time in office, describing the experience as demanding and politically intense.
In a post shared on his official X account on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, Sani recounted how he and others spent nearly four years accompanying former Senate President Bukola Saraki to various courts in Abuja over a series of legal battles. According to him, the period was marked by repeated court appearances and prolonged legal scrutiny.
Sani noted that Saraki faced multiple allegations at the time, including claims of forgery and criminal conspiracy. He added that the situation extended beyond Saraki, as other lawmakers, including former Kogi West senator Dino Melaye, were also subjected to legal proceedings linked to related issues.
