Recall that the committee was set up by the House to scrutinise the state’s financial transactions, loans, contractual liabilities and other relevant matters from May 29, 2015 to May 29, 2023 when el-Rufai was governor of the state.

The chairman of the adhoc committee, Hon. Henry Magaji Danjuma, who spoke with journalists after a closed-door interactions with the former aides of el-Rufai on Monday night, said: “We deemed it necessary to have them interviewed so that we can get testimonies as to aid us get to an appropriate conclusion so that we can give a justified report of our committee.”

Hon. Danjuma, who is also the deputy speaker of the House, however, said the session was open to whoever that was invited.

“The entire session was open, anybody that was called was put on oath to know that we are serious and that whatever must be told must be honest,” he added.
