The family of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of breaching his constitutional rights by allegedly preventing him from receiving medical care and restricting food brought to him while in detention.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement released on Thursday, the family claimed El-Rufai remained in the anti-corruption agency’s custody despite a court ruling that granted him unrestricted access to his doctors.

According to the statement, El-Rufai’s personal physician arrived at the ICPC headquarters around 3 pm on May 15 to discuss the results of recent medical examinations conducted on the former governor.

However, the family alleged that ICPC officials blocked the doctor from seeing him, insisting that approval from the commission’s chairman was necessary before access could be granted.

They described the action as a clear disregard for the court’s directive and a violation of his fundamental rights.

The family also alleged that El-Rufai’s wife, Aichatou, was denied access when she arrived around 7 pm with his dinner.

According to them, ICPC officials told her that food deliveries were prohibited after 6:30 pm due to internal regulations.

Condemning the situation, the family argued that no lawful detention should involve denying medical attention or preventing basic family support based on arbitrary procedures.

They further accused the commission of using protocol as a tool for intimidation and insisted that all constitutional rights owed to the former governor must be upheld.

The statement stressed that the family would no longer tolerate what it described as intimidation disguised as official procedure, urging the ICPC to operate within the law it is mandated to enforce.

They added that efforts were still being made to ensure El-Rufai received his meal.
