ICPC to arraign El-Rufai over alleged d fraud, money laundering charges
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has announced plans to arraign former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Tuesday.
El-Rufai has been in detention since honouring an invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on February 16, 2026. He was reportedly interrogated for 48 hours before being transferred into ICPC custody.
His continued detention had sparked public outrage, with several groups and individuals demanding that he be either charged to court or released.
In a statement issued on Monday by ICPC spokesman, John Okor Odey, the commission disclosed that El-Rufai would be arraigned before a Federal High Court in Kaduna.
According to the statement, the case, with suit number FHC/KD/73/2026, includes charges ranging from conversion and possession of public property to money laundering.
The commission further revealed that a separate charge, marked KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26, has also been filed against El-Rufai and one Amadu Sule before a Kaduna State High Court in the Kaduna Judicial Division.
The charges in the state case include abuse of office, fraud, intent to commit fraud, and conferring undue advantage.
The ICPC noted that both cases were filed on March 18, 2026, adding that the date for arraignment at the state high court would be communicated in due course.
It also confirmed that El-Rufai has been duly served with the charges.
