El-Rufai Arrives In Court For Corruption Trial by NaijaCover(op): 10:41am On Jun 15
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has arrived at the Federal High Court sitting in the state capital for the continuation of proceedings in his ongoing corruption trial.

El-Rufai arrived at the court accompanied by officials of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, and operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, and the Nigeria Police Force.

The case involves allegations of abuse of office, fraud, and financial misconduct during his tenure as governor.

According to the prosecutors, funds were improperly released for projects that were either not executed or were irregularly managed.

Meanwhile, El-Rufai has denied all the charges and maintains his innocence.

During Monday’s sitting, the court is expected to continue hearing motions and arguments from both the prosecution and defence as the case progresses.

I hope APC teach him lesson

The government is not focused on the substance of the case as they have nothing to hold against him. The focus is rather on keeping him away from the 2027 conversation because Tinubu himself knows the capacity of Elrufai to unmake him as president. The ingrates and betrayers will be taught bitter political lessons come 2027.

Why did you say that, I mean what are the key charges against him and how are they not focused on the substance of the case?

A typical Nigerian politician cannot be outside the radar of the govt except if your hands are clean and never steal a kobo from public funds. If the govt is ready for you, no Jupiter can save you. If you think you're above the law, just try and steal public funds and continue to harass the govt in power, na that time you go know say khaki no be leather. I have never seen a sincere politician in Nigeria, they are all the same.

Why not tell us what the key charges against him are? The only key charge against him I know about is that he left the APC and vowed to unmake Tinubu as president. Meanwhile Yahaya Bello and Ifeanyi Okowa are running for Senate. Even Nnaji, who left the APC and became the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Enugu just saw a resurrection of his certificate forgery case. Meanwhile, Tinubu passed a law in the electoral act decriminalising age falsification and certificate forgery. Apparently, it only applies to the president.

The trial of Mallam.

Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Never ever allow anyone gas you up. When the chips are down, you'd be left alone.
Re: El-Rufai Arrives In Court For Corruption Trial by Bluna: 12:56pm On Jun 15
This mallam don jam serious wahala, no be small.

As corruption trial dey one side, phone tapping trial dey another side.

As Kaduna government dey drag am, na so DSS, ICPC, EFCC and ONSA dey drag am.

If you like, allow yourselves to be fooled with these nonsense called news. You better seek ways to protect yourself and families before you end in the hand of govt sponsored terrorist

Why won't Okowa walk free? Isn't he standing on mandate?
Re: El-Rufai Arrives In Court For Corruption Trial by marv1: 1:02pm On Jun 15
Nonsense. What is his crime ? Which governor is a saint. ? Tinubu is not a saint either. What about yahaya bello. He is walking freely . Lie lie government. Only arresting and prosecuting opponents . What a shameless government. ?
Re: El-Rufai Arrives In Court For Corruption Trial by Amarachieze(m): 1:03pm On Jun 15
El Rufai is corrupt and Tinubu is not. Wonderful!
Ganduje? No
Wike? No
Akpabio? No
The evil that men do lives after them
Note: I am not exonerating El Rufai but selective justice is the worst form of injustice

Nothing will still come out of it, but let's see how it goes.
Re: El-Rufai Arrives In Court For Corruption Trial by fubsy: 1:15pm On Jun 15
Corruption has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigeria that it is now the norm. That the searchlight is flashed on El Rufai, is a welcomed development, and he is entitled to defend the allegations against him. However, let me ask: Had El Rufai agreed to support Tinubu when Tinubu was wooing him, would El Rufai had been charged for corruption? If Yes, why are other well known corrupt politicians still in his cabinet (to the point that some of them are unapologetically controlling the political activities of their states of origin against the people's wishes, and some are awarding government contracts without following the procurement laws of the country) not being tried for corruption?
So, is it not corruption not to judicially try corrupt officials in the current government?
