Former Governor Of Kaduna State El-Rufai in EFCC Net

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

The former governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai is in the custody of the economic and financial crimes commission (EFCC) over alleged N432 billion fraud.

The former governor, El-Rufai who honoured the invitation of the anti-graft commission on Monday, is still undergoing interrogation.

Although he presented himself voluntarily, sources within the anti-graft agency disclosed that he was yet to be granted bail as interrogation continues this Tuesday.

The probe is said to stem from a 2024 report by the Kaduna state house of assembly, which alleged El-rufai’s administration between 2015 and 2023 of allegedly diverting public funds through multiple state channels.

A report says investigators are allegedly reviewing contracts and financial transactions executed during EL-Rufai’s eight-year tenure.

In a related development, the department of state services (DSS) has filed a three-count charge against El-Rufai at the federal high court in Abuja.

The charge borders on alleged unlawful interception of telephone communications belonging to the national security adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
