ABUJA — The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Tuesday accused former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, of abusing a court-approved medical visit while in its custody.
The Commission said it would draw the court’s attention to what it described as a flagrant breach of the order that permitted the hospital trip.
The allegation marks a fresh twist in the criminal proceedings against the former governor, with the anti-graft agency claiming that a court-approved hospital visit was used for purposes beyond medical treatment.
The Commission said the development had also led to the arrest of El-Rufai’s personal physician, Professor Bello Abubakar, for allegedly making false statements.
