A former governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, has been detained at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
This followed hours of interrogation over an alleged N432 billion corruption probe.
El-Rufai is also expected to face criminal prosecution over the alleged bugging of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu’s phone.
The former governor, who arrived at the commission’s Jabi headquarters around 10am in response to an invitation, was grilled over allegations arising from the 2024 report of the Kaduna State House of Assembly which accused his administration of misappropriating loans, violating due process in contract awards and plunging the state into heavy debt.
