The detained former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has filed a N10billion suit against the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1852/2026, was lodged before the Federal High Court in Abuja, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Alleging gross violation of his fundamental rights, the embattled former governor accused the ICPC of denying his wife, Aichatou Asabe, and son, Abba El-Rufai, any form of access to him.

He added that the repeated refusal of the prosecuting agency to allow his family members access to him amounts to a violation of his fundamental rights under Sections 34 and 37 of the 1999 Constitution.

His words, “The respondents’ conduct amounts to an unjustifiable interference with the applicant’s dignity and family life and is therefore unconstitutional.”
