El-Rufai Detained by EFCC Amid N432bn Probe

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai spent a second night in custody under the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as investigations continue into allegations involving N432 billion. His lawyer, U.

Mustapha, is actively pursuing bail for El-Rufai, asserting that there are strong indications that the commission's remand order should be reconsidered. The extension of El-Rufai's detention is aimed at enabling the EFCC to conduct a thorough investigation into the financial crimes he is accused of.

The situation remains tense as legal efforts are underway to secure his release.
