El‑Rufai’s Fate in ICPC Hands: Abuja Court to Decide on Fresh 14‑Day Detention
A magistrate court in Abuja is set to rule on Tuesday, March 17, on the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission’s (ICPC) request to detain former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El‑Rufai, for another 14 days.
The commission wants more time to investigate alleged corruption during El‑Rufai’s tenure. Observers say the ruling could either extend his detention, lead to formal charges, or result in his release.
Daily Star Nigeria gathered that all eyes will be on Tuesday’s decision, which will determine the next legal step for the ex-governor.
