Court Denies El-Rufai Full Access to ICPC CCTV Footage
A Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Chigozie Onah, rejected former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai's request to display all CCTV footage from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) premises in open court. The ruling, delivered on Thursday, allowed both El-Rufai and the ICPC 20 minutes each to present relevant portions of the over six-hour footage.
This footage is central to El-Rufai's ₦10 billion fundamental rights suit against the ICPC, its Chairman Musa Aliyu, and the Attorney-General of the Federation. Justice Onah noted the court's limited time and the sensitive nature of some video details that could pose security risks.
He also denied El-Rufai's request to cross-examine two ICPC officials, stating that fundamental rights cases are determined based on affidavit evidence. The court adjourned the matter to November 3 for further hearing.
El-Rufai's suit, filed on August 13, claims he was denied access to his family while in detention.
