ABUJA — The African Democratic Congress, ADC, and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, yesterday traded accusations over the hospital visit and detention conditions of former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
While the ADC accused the anti-graft agency of denying El-Rufai adequate medical care and violating his rights in detention, the ICPC alleged that the former governor abused a court-approved medical visit and breached the conditions under which it was granted.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC alleged that El-Rufai was taken to the National Hospital, Abuja, where doctors recommended that he be admitted because of his deteriorating health.
According to the party, ICPC officials rejected the recommendation and insisted on returning him to custody.
