ICPC Arrests El-Rufai’s Physician After Medical Visit Used for Political Meeting

The ICPC has confirmed the arrest of Professor Bello Abubakar, personal doctor to former Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, for making false statements. He was taken into custody during an investigation into a court-approved medical visit. El-Rufai skipped his scheduled court appearance and requested his personal physician without prior notice. The ICPC says the request came at the urging of his wife, who also serves as one of his legal counsels. After officers escorted El-Rufai to a private wing of the National Hospital in Abuja, photos shared on social media showed him holding a political meeting with associates—including Professor Abubakar—rather than undergoing treatment. The ICPC describes this as a violation of court orders and vows to sanction any abuse of its goodwill.
