ICPC Clarifies El-Rufai's Detention, Case Adjourned
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) clarified the circumstances surrounding the detention of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. The ICPC stated that it did not approach the court for a fresh extension of his detention.
The case has been adjourned to March 31, 2026, after a court hearing on March 17, 2026, regarding an application filed by El-Rufai challenging a court order for his remand. The ICPC's application, filed on March 6, 2026, sought to overturn a remand order granted on March 5, 2026, which allowed for a 14-day investigation into allegations of money laundering and abuse of office.
The ICPC emphasized its compliance with court directives and the need to provide progress reports, while cautioning against misinformation circulating on social media regarding El-Rufai's detention.
