Heavy Security As El-Rufai Appears In Court Over Alleged Money Laundering

Nasir El Rufai

Security has been beefed up around the Federal High Court of Nigeria sitting in Kaduna as operatives of multiple agencies took strategic positions ahead of the arraignment of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over alleged corruption-related offences. Heavily armed personnel drawn from the Department of State Services, Nigeria Police Force, Mobile Police Force, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps were deployed to key entry and exit points leading to the court premises.

Recall that in a press statement issued by its Head of Media and Public Communications, John Odey, the commission disclosed that El-Rufai would be arraigned alongside one Joel Adoga in suit number FHC/KD/73/2026.

El-Rufai arrived at the court premises under heavy security at about 9:00 a.m. in a Hilux vehicle.

He remained inside the vehicle for over 30 minutes before being escorted into the courtroom at about 9:34 a.m.

WOW.
