The ICPC says it will arraign former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai at the Federal High Court in Kaduna over alleged corruption, including money laundering and abuse of office.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has announced plans to arraign former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El‑Rufai, before the Federal High Court of Nigeria in Kaduna on Tuesday over alleged corruption-related offences. The development follows pressure from stakeholders, including the African Democratic Congress, demanding his release or formal arraignment after weeks of detention.
In a statement on Monday by its Head of Media and Public Communications, John Odey, the ICPC said El-Rufai and one Joel Adoga would face charges in suit number FHC/KD/73/2026 at the Federal High Court in the Kaduna Judicial Division. The commission said the counts include conversion and possession of public property as well as money laundering.
The ICPC also disclosed that another case involving El-Rufai and Amadu Sule had been filed before a Kaduna State High Court, with charges ranging from abuse of office and fraud to intent to commit fraud and conferring undue advantage. The commission noted the charges were filed on March 18, 2026, and reaffirmed its commitment to due process and the rule of law.
