The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has announced plans to arraign a former Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, over alleged corruption-related offences.
In a press release dated March 23, 2026, signed by the Head of Media and Public Communications of the Commission, John Okor Oday, Anipr, the anti-graft agency said El-Rufai would be arraigned alongside one Joel Adoga before the Federal High Court in Kaduna on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. The case, marked FHC/KD/73/2026, includes charges ranging from alleged conversion and possession of public property to money laundering.
The Commission also disclosed that a separate charge has been filed against the former governor and another individual, Amadu Sule of the Light Equipment Development Agency (LEDA), before the Kaduna State High Court. The suit, with number KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26, borders on allegations of abuse of office, fraud, and intent to confer undue advantage.
According to the ICPC, both cases were filed on March 18, 2026, while the date for arraignment at the State High Court will be communicated in due course.
The Commission further stated that El-Rufai has been duly served with the charges.
Reaffirming its commitment to due process, the ICPC said it would continue to uphold the rule of law in the prosecution of the cases.
