El-Rufai Faces ICPC Arraignment in Kaduna Over Alleged Corruption

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is set to arraign former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, today, Tuesday, March 24, 2026, before the Federal High Court in Kaduna over alleged corruption-related offences.

In a statement released on Monday, the commission’s spokesperson, John Odey, confirmed that El-Rufai will be arraigned alongside Joel Adoga in a suit marked FHC/KD/73/2026 at the Kaduna Judicial Division.

According to the ICPC, the charges against the defendants include conversion and possession of public property, as well as money laundering.

The development comes amid growing pressure from stakeholders, including the African Democratic Congress, which had earlier demanded that the former governor be either released or formally charged.

The arraignment is expected to be a key step in the legal proceedings as the anti-corruption agency pursues the case.
