Bashir El-Rufai, a son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, attacks his elder brother, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, who serves as a member of the House of Representatives. In a post on X dated Saturday morning, Bashir makes allegations that his brother abuses drugs and alcohol, including references to a “white substance” around his nostrils and to cocaine and whiskey.

The outlets report that the underlying reason for the dispute is unclear. Reactions to Bashir’s post include comments advising against taking a family matter to social media. In the exchanges, Bashir responds to at least one commenter by insisting that it is his elder brother who is abusing drugs, while dismissing suggestions to settle the issue privately.

Both sources describe the incident as an online family dispute conveyed through social media language, with no confirmed evidence or official statement establishing the facts beyond the allegations and the public responses.
