The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has announced plans to arraign former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai alongside Joel Adoga before the Federal High Court of Nigeria in the Kaduna Judicial Division on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
The notice, signed by John Okor Odey, Head of Media and Public Communications, outlined that the case, filed under suit number FHC/KD/73/2026, involves allegations including conversion and possession of public property as well as money laundering.
In addition, the commission disclosed that a separate charge has been filed against El-Rufai and Amadu Sule at the Kaduna State High Court under case number KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26.
The second case reportedly includes counts bordering on abuse of office, fraud, intent to commit fraud, and conferring undue advantage.
Both cases were filed by the ICPC on March 18, 2026. While a date for arraignment at the state high court is yet to be announced, the commission confirmed that El-Rufai has been duly served.
The anti-corruption agency also reiterated its commitment to due process and adherence to the rule of law in prosecuting the matter.
