However, ICPC spokesperson, J. Okor Odey told SaharaReporters on Friday that, the ADC leaders were formally informed that the court order did not include political associates or party officials among those permitted to visit the detained former governor.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has explained why leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) were denied access to former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, currently in its custody.
Top officials of the African Democratic Congress on Friday had said they were denied access to El-Rufai, at the headquarters of the ICPC.
Those reportedly prevented from seeing El-Rufai included the ADC National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola; the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi; and the Secretary of the ADC Manifesto and Policy Committee, Salihu Lukman.
The development was disclosed in a video obtained by SaharaReporters on Friday.
