Calls Grow Louder For ICPC To Detain Nasir El-Rufai Over Alleged Money Theft...CONTINUE READING

The Kaduna Citizens Watch for Good Governance has petitioned the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai for alleged misappropriation totaling ₦423 billion.

This call follows a Kaduna State House of Assembly report implicating El-Rufai and his administration in financial misconduct. Members of the group marched to the ICPC office in Kaduna demanding El-Rufai’s immediate arrest and investigation.

They also protested at the Kaduna State Government House on June 20, 2024, urging Governor Uba Sani to involve anti-corruption agencies. Chairman Victor Duniya stated they submitted a similar petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja on July 2, 2024, seeking investigations, arrests, and prosecutions of El-Rufai and his associates involved in alleged financial malpractice.

The group emphasized the importance of holding accountable those who exploit public funds, expressing confidence in the anti-corruption agencies’ resolve to combat such practices.
