The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has announced plans to arraign former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai before the Federal High Court in Kaduna on March 24, 2026, over alleged corruption and money laundering offences.
The move comes amid growing calls from political groups, civil society organisations, and family members urging that he be formally charged or released, following concerns about his prolonged detention.
According to the commission, El-Rufai will be arraigned alongside Joel Adoga on charges including the alleged conversion and possession of public funds, as well as money laundering.
The ICPC also disclosed that a separate case has been filed at a Kaduna State High Court involving El-Rufai and another individual, Amadu Sule. The charges in that case reportedly include abuse of office, fraud, and related offences.
The agency stated that all legal procedures have been followed and reaffirmed its commitment to due process and the rule of law.
