ICPC Rejects ADC’s Request to Visit El-Rufai in Custody

The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission has turned down the African Democratic Congress’s application to see Nasir El-Rufai while he remains in ICPC custody. In a letter dated May 21, 2026, the Commission noted that El-Rufai is facing trial before both the Kaduna State High Court and the Federal High Court in Kaduna. Though held on court order, he is already granted access to only certain people. The letter confirms that family members, medical staff and legal counsels are the only categories approved by the courts to visit him. On that basis, the ADC’s request was declined.
