Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-Rufai, has responded to an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of corruption during his tenure.

El-Rufai, a prominent member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), arrived at the EFCC headquarters accompanied by hundreds of supporters.

The former governor had previously resisted arrest at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport last Thursday, prompting widespread media attention and national debate.

Following the airport incident, El-Rufai accused the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, of orchestrating the attempted arrest, claiming it was politically motivated.

The EFCC had invited him for questioning regarding alleged financial irregularities and corruption linked to his administration in Kaduna State.

Details of the interrogation and any outcomes have not yet been publicly disclosed, as the investigation is ongoing.

Supporters who gathered at the EFCC headquarters expressed solidarity, emphasizing El-Rufai’s commitment to cooperate with the commission.

The former governor’s appearance comes amid heightened national interest in transparency and accountability for public officials.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation, while calls for due process and fair treatment have been echoed by various political and civil society actors.

The EFCC has reiterated that investigations are ongoing and that all relevant evidence and testimonies will be examined to ensure justice is served.
