ICPC Arraigns El-Rufai In Kaduna Today

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has concluded arrangements to arraign former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, today.

The ICPC, in a statement yesterday by its spokesperson, John Odey, said El-Rufai would be arraigned at a Federal High Court in Kaduna today.

Part of the statement read, “The suit with number FHC/KD/73/2026 has charges ranging from conversion of and possession of public property, to money laundering.

“Similarly, another charge, number KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26, against Malam Nasir El-Rufa’i and one Amadu Sule (LEDA), has also been filed before a Kaduna State High Court in the Kaduna Judicial Division.

“The charges in the State High Court case range from abuse of office, fraud, and intent to commit fraud to conferring undue advantage, among others. Both charges were filed by the ICPC on 18 March 2026.

“The date of arraignment in the State High Court will be communicated at the appropriate time as determined by the Court.”

The ICPC said El-Rufa’i has been duly served. Recall that El-Rufai has been in detention since 16 February 2026, after he honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and was taken to the ICPC after 48 hours.
