ICPC Invites El-Rufai for Questioning on Corruption

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has invited Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, for questioning concerning allegations of corrupt practices. This invitation comes just days after El-Rufai received a similar invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The ICPC's invitation was delivered via a letter, and El-Rufai's lawyer has confirmed that he will attend the ICPC office on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. The context of the invitation follows a recent incident described as a failed attempt to abduct El-Rufai, which was reported as a futile effort.

The situation highlights ongoing concerns regarding corruption and legal accountability among political figures in Nigeria.
