ICPC raids El Rufai’s Abuja home amid corruption probe

Operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission have searched the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai. The raid took place on Thursday while the former governor remained in the custody of the anti graft agency over an ongoing investigation. El Rufai’s media aide, Muyiwa Adekeye, confirmed the operation in a brief statement, saying ICPC officials searched the entire property. His lawyer, Ubong Akpan, condemned the search, describing it as unlawful and a violation of his client’s fundamental rights and due process. ICPC had earlier disclosed that El Rufai was in its custody in connection with investigations into alleged financial misconduct during his tenure as governor from 2015 to 2023. The commission has not yet released detailed information on the specific allegations or items sought during the home search. Before he was picked […]

EFCC holds on to El-Rufai over alleged ₦432bn fraud probe

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is keeping former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai in custody as detectives intensify investigations into alleged mismanagement of about ₦423–₦432 billion during his eight-year tenure. El-Rufai, who honoured an invitation at the EFCC headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, arrived on Monday morning and has now spent at least two nights in detention while answering questions on loans, contracts and financial transactions executed between 2015 and 2023. Sources at the commission said investigators are scrutinising reports of a Kaduna State House of Assembly ad hoc committee, which accused the former governor and some of his aides of abuse of office, contract inflation, money laundering and diversion of public funds. The panel had alleged that huge loans obtained in the name of the state were either misapplied or not properly accounted for and recommended that El-Rufai, commissioners […]

Ogba: El-Rufai should face DSS over seized passport

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Chidi Ogba, has urged former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) over the seizure of his international passport. Ogba said there is nothing wrong with making himself available for questioning if he is confident he has done nothing wrong. Security agents recently intercepted El-Rufai at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja after his return from Cairo, Egypt, and confiscated his passport. His lawyer condemned the incident as an attempted arrest without a warrant and described the seizure of the passport as unconstitutional and an abuse of power. Ogba, however, argued that instead of relying only on public sympathy, El-Rufai should formally present himself to the DSS or any relevant security agency to clear up any issues. He maintained that submitting […]

Obasanjo: Why I Rejected El-Rufai as My Successor

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that he once rejected a proposal for Nasir El-Rufai to succeed him as President in 2007. Obasanjo made this disclosure at the Ajibosin Platform Annual Symposium in Abeokuta. He stated that the suggestion was made by former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka, who was a guest at the event. Interjecting during Chidoka's speech, Obasanjo recalled the proposal. "He didn't mention that when I was leaving government, he was pushing that his friend, El-Rufai, should be brought in as my successor," Obasanjo said. The former president explained that he declined the recommendation because he believed El-Rufai, who served as the FCT Minister at the time, was "not yet mature enough" to lead Nigeria. Obasanjo added that Chidoka later agreed with his assessment. "Many years later, after seeing his performance, he came back to me and said, […]
