El-Rufai appears in Kaduna court for arraignment over alleged corruption...
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has appeared before a court in Kaduna where he is being arraigned by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over alleged corruption offences.
CBI News reports that the commission said the charges include abuse of office, fraud, and alleged money laundering, with a separate case also filed at the Kaduna State High Court.
El-Rufai was brought into the courtroom at about 9:31 a.m. alongside suspected co-defendants after arriving under heavy security escort.
He was earlier seen in a white van guarded by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
This marks his first public appearance since his arrest in February, following investigations involving both the ICPC and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The ICPC, through its spokesperson John Okor Odey, said further legal proceedings are ongoing as the case continues.
