File copy: Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has defended its decision to deny leaders of the African Democratic Congress access to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, insisting that the action was in compliance with a subsisting court order.
The ICPC spokesman, John Odey, disclosed this to PUNCH Online on Saturday while reacting to allegations by the ADC that its leaders were harassed and denied access during a visit to the former governor on Friday.
According to Odey, the commission had formally replied to the ADC after receiving a letter requesting permission for some party leaders to visit El-Rufai.
“Yes, we denied them. They wrote to us saying that they wanted to come and visit El-Rufai. They listed those people who came, Aregbesola, Abolaji Abdullahi and others.
