BREAKING! El-Rufai Sues Kaduna Assembly

Former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has sued the Kaduna State House of Assembly following allegations that N432 billion was siphoned during his administration, leading to significant state debt.

El-Rufai filed a fundamental rights suit at the Federal High Court in Kaduna on Wednesday, challenging the Assembly's report, which implicated him in corruption. His lawyer, Abdulhakeem Mustapha (SAN), is handling the case.

The Assembly's ad hoc committee had investigated finances, loans, and contracts awarded under El-Rufai, concluding that the former governor and his appointees were involved in corrupt practices.

El-Rufai, through his media aide Muyiwa Adekeye, refuted the report, labeling it false and scandalous, and affirmed the integrity of his administration.
