BREAKING: El-Rufai Files Law Suit Against Kaduna Assembly Over Corruption Allegations 

Published

on

Former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai has filed a lawsuit against the Kaduna State House of Assembly over allegations of corruption.

El-Rufai is challenging a report by the Assembly’s committee, which accused his administration of embezzling ?432 billion and leaving the state with significant debt liabilities.

The former governor argues that the committee did not provide him with a fair hearing and is seeking a declaration that the report is null and void.

El-Rufai’s spokesperson, Muyiwa Adekeye, has dismissed the allegations as “scandalous” and affirmed the integrity of El-Rufai’s government.

The lawsuit is the latest development in a probe launched by the Kaduna Assembly into the finances of El-Rufai’s administration.

The Assembly’s committee has recommended that El-Rufai and some members of his cabinet be investigated and prosecuted for alleged abuse of office, diversion of public funds, and money laundering.
