The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is set to arraign former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, before the Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna on Tuesday over alleged corruption-related offences.
The ICPC spokesperson, John Odey, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.
According to Odey, El-Rufa’i will be arraigned alongside Joel Adoga in a case marked FHC/KD/73/2026. The charges include alleged conversion and possession of public property, as well as money laundering.
He further revealed that the anti-graft agency has filed a separate case against the former governor before the Kaduna State High Court, alongside Amadu Sule of the Kaduna State Livestock and Environmental Development Agency (LEDA).

“The case, with charge number KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26, borders on allegations of abuse of office, fraud, intent to commit fraud, and conferring undue advantage,” Odey said.
He added that both cases were instituted on March 18, 2026, noting that while the Federal High Court arraignment is scheduled for March 24, the date for proceedings at the state high court will be announced later.
The ICPC also confirmed that El-Rufa’i has been duly served with the charges.
Reiterating the commission’s stance, Odey said the agency remains committed to upholding due process and the rule of law in the prosecution of corruption cases across the country.
