Kaduna House Okays El-Rufai Prosecution for Abuse of Office

The Kaduna State House of Assembly has recommended the prosecution of the immediate-past governor of the state, Nasir el-Rufai, for alleged abuse of office and money laundering.

This comes after the investigation carried out by the ad-hoc committee set up by the Kaduna State House of Assembly presided over by Henry Zacharia.

El-Rufai was the immediate past governor of Kaduna State

The report submitted by Zacharia on Wednesday suggested that most of the loans obtained under el-Rufai’s administration were not used for their proposed purpose, and in some cases, due process was not followed in securing the loans.
