Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, claims the federal government wanted to arrest his elder brother, Bashir El-Rufai, during their mother’s funeral to pressure him into negotiations.
Bashir stayed in Cairo due to concerns over possible arrest, El-Rufai said in a video statement.
El-Rufai’s mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, passed away in Cairo and was buried in Abuja.
El-Rufai was granted temporary release from ICPC custody to attend the funeral, amid allegations of corruption and money laundering.
