Constituents Urge NDLEA to Probe Bello El-Rufai's Allegations

Constituents from Kaduna North Federal Constituency have formally requested the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to investigate allegations of cocaine use against their federal representative, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai (Rep, Kaduna North). The petition, dated 8th September 2026, was signed by Abubakar Hayatu of Kabala Ward and Musa Tukur of Unguwar Gaji Ward.

This request follows allegations made by Bashir El-Rufai, the lawmaker's brother, on social media on 29th August 2026. The constituents clarified that they do not seek to presume guilt or demand an unlawful test but rather want an independent assessment to determine if there are grounds for investigation.

They emphasized the seriousness of the allegations and the potential implications for public trust and ethical responsibility in governance. The petition was directed to Gen. Buba Marwa (rtd), the NDLEA chairman and CEO, and included a request for the agency to assess the information provided and determine if lawful grounds for investigation exist.
