Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai is set to face trial on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, over allegations of abuse of office, fraud, and money laundering. The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has filed charges against him, including conversion and possession of public property, and money laundering. ¹ ² ³
El-Rufai was initially arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on February 16, 2026, and granted bail two days later. However, he was re-arrested by the ICPC and has been in custody since then.
The ICPC has filed two separate cases against El-Rufai: one at the Federal High Court in Kaduna and another at the Kaduna State High Court. The charges include abuse of office, fraud, and intent to commit fraud to confer undue advantage.
