Court Orders CCTV Footage in El-Rufai's Legal Battle
On October 22, the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Chigozie Onah, ordered that selected Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage be played in open court in the case between the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai. This dispute centers on allegations that El-Rufai's family was restricted from accessing him while he was in custody.
Justice Onah granted the ICPC's request to demonstrate portions of the footage, which is crucial evidence in El-Rufai's N10 billion fundamental rights suit against the ICPC. The judge limited the public viewing to 20 minutes for each side, rejecting El-Rufai's request for the entire six-hour recording due to time constraints and security concerns.
The court also denied El-Rufai's request to compel two ICPC officials to appear for cross-examination. The case is adjourned until November 3 for further hearing.
