A former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, was on Friday released from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.
This was confirmed by one of his sons, Bashir, in a post on X.
Bashir wrote, “My beloved great legend of a father (@elrufai) is being released from his unlawful and illegal detention at the hands of one of the most corrupt agencies in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that is a lame excuse of a pathetic institution.
“Thank you all for all the support. Our family shall never forget these times. We have overcome, as the El-Rufais.”
This comes on the day when El-Rufai’s mother, Hajiya Umma, died from an illness in Cairo, Egypt.
El-Rufai has been detained by ICPC since February 18 over allegations of financial misconduct and other related matters.
