Former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai spent Monday night in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after honoring an invitation over alleged financial improprieties during his time in office (2015–2023). Sources say the questioning is ongoing, with a possible release or further action depending on investigators’ findings.

The probe is widening, as El-Rufai is also expected to appear before the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission. Meanwhile, the Kaduna State House of Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to transparency following protests demanding updates on a legislative investigation into alleged misappropriation of ₦432 billion.
