Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has publicly accused his elder brother, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, of using cocaine and alcohol.

Bashir made the allegations in a series of posts on X on Saturday morning while directing harsh comments at the lawmaker, who is a member of the House of Representatives.

The reason for the apparent disagreement between the brothers was not immediately clear.

In his post, Bashir alleged that his brother regularly abuses substances and questioned his conduct as a public official. He also accused him of consuming cocaine and whiskey.

The remarks attracted reactions from some of Bashir’s followers, with several advising him not to take a family disagreement to social media.

One follower urged him to resolve the matter privately rather than publicly attacking his brother online.

Bashir, however, dismissed the advice and maintained his allegation, responding that his elder brother was the one abusing drugs.

The exchange has generated reactions on social media, with attention focused on the public dispute between the two brothers.

Mohammed Bello El-Rufai had not publicly responded to the allegations at the time of filing the report.

The accusations remain unverified and have not been independently established.
