Alleged graft: ICPC to arraign El-Rufai
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) will on Tuesday arraign former Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufa’i, before the Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna.
The ICPC Spokesperson, John Odey, said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, El-Rufa’i will be arraigned alongside Joel Adoga in a case marked FHC/KD/73/2026.
He said that the charges filed against them included alleged conversion and possession of public property, as well as money laundering.
Odey said that the anti-graft agency had also filed a separate case before the Kaduna State High Court against El-Rufa’i and Amadu Sule (LEDA).
“The case, with charge number KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26, borders on allegations of abuse of office, fraud, intent to commit fraud, and conferring undue advantage.
“The ICPC confirmed that El-Rufa’i has been duly served with the charges.”
He reiterated the commission’s commitment to due process and adherence to the rule of law in the prosecution of corruption-related offences.(NAN)
