The Nation Newspaper El-Rufai’s men refute alleged misapplication of N423.1b
A former aide to former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has denied allegations that his administration siphoned N423.2 billion.
The House of Assembly ad hoc committee had urged authorities to investigate El-Rufai for allegedly diverting N423 billion. The committee said all finances, loans and contracts awarded by El-Rufai’s administration must be investigated for alleged diversion of funds and money laundering. The former commissioner said till date, the House of Assembly has not responded to formal requests for the certified true copy of the report it adopted at its sitting on June 5.
“Malam El-Rufai was not invited by the committee which made certain claims against him. And as you know, he has approached the Federal High Court for the enforcement of his fundamental rights as a citizen who is entitled to a fair hearing before his rights can be determined by a quasi-judicial or investigative body or courts, in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution , and the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.
