You Have Continued to Violate My Father’s Rights - El-Rufai Tells ICPC
The family said officials blocked his doctor and turned away his wife with an evening meal, despite a court order allowing access to medical care.
- On Friday, the family of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai accused the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission of denying him necessary medical care and food while in detention, violating his constitutional rights.
- Officials blocked El-Rufai's personal doctor from discussing medical test results at around 3 p.m. Friday, demanding written permission from the ICPC Chairman, while security personnel later refused a food delivery from his wife, Aichatou.
- Mohammed El-Rufai, a House of Representatives member, stated the restrictions flout an existing Federal High Court order granting his father unrestricted access to medical teams, describing the commission's actions as "an outright assault on the rule of law."
- The family accused the commission of engaging in "intimidation dressed up as protocol," demanding that all constitutional rights due to the former governor be respected while continuing efforts to ensure he receives his evening meal.
- Pending an investigation into alleged financial improprieties, the anti-graft agency holds the former governor under a remand order concerning public expenditure during his tenure as Kaduna State Governor between 2015 and 2023.
