The Media Adviser to former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, Muyiwa Adekeye, has accused the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of denying his principal access to medical care while in custody.

Adekeye, in a statement, said El-Rufai, who had complained of itchy eyes, had requested permission to visit the hospital to check his condition, but ICPC officials denied the request.

According to the aide, the former governor had been taken to an eye clinic on June 4. Still, his eye condition had recently deteriorated, a situation Adekeye said had raised concerns among El-Rufai’s family.
