The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has confirmed it will arraign former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, before the Federal High Court in Kaduna on Tuesday over multiple allegations.
In a statement released on Monday, ICPC spokesperson John Odey disclosed that the charges, filed on March 18, include alleged conversion and unlawful possession of public assets, as well as money laundering. El-Rufai will be docked alongside Joel Adoga in the federal court case.
The commission also revealed that a separate case has been instituted at the Kaduna State High Court, where El-Rufai faces additional accusations, including abuse of office, fraud, and intent to commit fraud to secure undue advantage. Amadu Sule (LEDA) is also listed as a co-defendant in the state-level proceedings.
“Similarly, another charge, number KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26, against Malam Nasir El-Rufai and one Amadu Sule (LEDA), has also been filed before a Kaduna State High Court in the Kaduna Judicial Division,” the statement reads.
“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 the 18th of 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 wishes to inform the public that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has been duly served. The ICPC restates its commitment to adhering fully to due process and the rule of law at all times.”
