The ICPC Spokesperson, John Odey, confirmed this in a statement yesterday, in Abuja, saying that   El-Rufa’i would be arraigned alongside Joel Adoga in a case marked: FHC/KD/73/2026.

He said that the charges filed against them include :alleged conversion and possession of public property, as well as money laundering.

Odey said that the anti-graft agency had also filed a separate case before the Kaduna State High Court against El-Rufa’i and Amadu Sule (LEDA).

“The ICPC confirmed that El-Rufa’i has been duly served with the charges.”
