ICPC to Arraign El-Rufai Over Money Laundering, Fraud Charges
The ICPC has announced plans to arraign former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai over multiple charges, including money laundering, abuse of office, and fraud.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has revealed plans to arraign former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over a series of alleged financial and administrative offences.
According to a statement issued by the commission’s spokesperson, John Okor Odey, El-Rufai is expected to appear before the Federal High Court in Kaduna alongside another defendant, Joel Adoga. The case, scheduled for March 24, 2026, includes charges such as possession and conversion of public property, as well as money laundering.
In a separate development, the anti-corruption agency has also filed another case against El-Rufai and Amadu Sule before a Kaduna State High Court. This second suit involves allegations ranging from abuse of office and fraud to conferring undue advantage.
The ICPC confirmed that both cases were filed on March 18, 2026, and that the former governor has been formally served. The commission added that the date for arraignment in the state court will be announced later.
This comes shortly after another legal issue involving El-Rufai, where cybercrime charges were filed against him at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The case is linked to alleged unlawful interception of communications belonging to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
The ICPC maintained that it remains committed to following due process as the cases proceed.
