Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has been released from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), according to his son, Bashir El-Rufai.
Bashir disclosed this in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, stating that his father had been freed from detention.
“My beloved great legend of a father (@elrufai) is being released from his unlawful and illegal detention at the hands of one of the most corrupt agencies in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that is a lame excuse of a pathetic institution.
“Thank you all for all the support. Our family shall never forget these times. We have overcome, as the El-Rufais,” he wrote.
El-Rufai had been in ICPC custody since February 18 over allegations bordering on financial misconduct and other related matters.
As of the time of filing this report, the ICPC has yet to issue an official statement regarding the terms of his temporary release.
Meanwhile, the former governor’s mother, Umma El-Rufai, died earlier on Friday in Cairo, Egypt.
