ICPC and AGF Seek Dismissal of El-Rufai's N1 Billion Suit
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) have jointly requested the dismissal of a N1 billion fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai. El-Rufai has been in ICPC custody since February 2026 and filed the suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1852/2026, on August 13 through his lawyer, Ubong Akpan.
The suit, assigned to Judge Chigozie Onah, seeks damages for alleged denial of access to his wife, Aichatou Asabe, and son, Abba El-Rufai, in July. The ICPC's counter-affidavit, sworn by John Uche, asserts that El-Rufai is held under a lawful court order related to a criminal case marked FHC/KD/73C/2025.
Uche stated that a visit arranged for El-Rufai's family turned into a political meeting, prompting access restrictions. The AGF, through Oni Michael, denied any involvement in the incidents cited by El-Rufai, stating that the AGF does not operate a detention facility.
