Breaking: New Development Emerges as El-Rufai's Family Cries Out

The family of Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, has expressed concerns over the continued detainment of their father and husband.

According to the statement signed by Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, a member of the House of Representatives and son of the former governor, and shared by Muyiwa Adekeye, a media aide to the embattled chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), there is no legal basis for the continued detainment of the politician.

The ex-governor's family alleged that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has continued to keep El-Rufai in detention unlawfully and illegally.

The statement reads in part:

"As of today, March 6, 2026, Nasir El-Rufai remains in ICPC custody under circumstances that have no basis in law. We state categorically that there is currently no valid legal instrument authorising his detention."
