Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has taken legal action against the Kaduna House of Assembly, alleging a violation of his fundamental human rights. The lawsuit, filed at the Federal High Court in Kaduna, asserts that El-Rufai was denied a fair hearing during the House of Assembly’s investigation into allegations of misusing public funds and money laundering during his tenure from 2015 to 2023.<\/p>\n
The Kaduna House of Assembly had previously constituted a 13-man ad-hoc committee to probe loans, grants, and project implementations under El-Rufai’s administration. The committee’s findings, which were adopted by the assembly, implicated El-Rufai and several former commissioners for alleged corruption in contract awards and management of both domestic and foreign loans.<\/p>\n
El-Rufai, along with former members of his cabinet, is seeking judicial redress to challenge the findings and the process of the investigation, arguing that his rights to a fair hearing were violated. The case underscores ongoing legal battles and political tensions surrounding accountability and governance in Kaduna State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
