The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Friday accused the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, of blocking access to former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai after senior leaders of the party were denied access to him at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
The opposition party said the restrictions surrounding El-Rufai’s detention were raising fresh concerns about political persecution, especially following claims by members of his family that he had been denied access to doctors, food and visitors despite voluntarily presenting himself to the authorities.
