El-Rufai's ₦1bn Suit Against ICPC Set for Judgment in December
The Federal High Court in Abuja, under the presiding judge Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, has set December 2, 2026, for the judgment in the ₦1 billion fundamental rights suit initiated by former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai against the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and other respondents. The date was established after all parties involved in the case presented their legal processes.
Notably, El-Rufai's lawyer was absent when the case was first called, leading Justice Abdulmalik to order that all documents filed by El-Rufai be considered adopted. The ICPC's counsel, Abdul Mohammed (SAN), along with representatives from the Inspector-General of Police and the Attorney General of the Federation, also adopted their processes and requested the court to dismiss El-Rufai's suit.
El-Rufai's lawyer, Ubong Akpan, later arrived and apologized for his tardiness but was informed that his documents had already been deemed adopted.
