Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has regained his freedom after being held by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The development was disclosed on Friday by his son, Bashir, via a post on X.
“My beloved great legend of a father (@elrufai) is being released from his unlawful and illegal detention at the hands of one of the most corrupt agencies in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that is a lame excuse of a pathetic institution.
“Thank you all for all the support. Our family shall never forget these times. We have overcome, as the El-Rufais.”
The update came the same day El-Rufai lost his mother, Hajiya Umma, who passed away after battling illness in Cairo, Egypt.
He had been in ICPC custody since February 18 following allegations linked to financial misconduct and related offences.
