The former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, who honoured the invitation extended to him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is still with the agency and he is to stay overnight in custody.
El-Rufai arrived at the agency on Monday afternoon and was grilled for some hours by the operatives of the command while the grilling is expected to continue on Tuesday as investigators continue to question him about alleged financial improprieties during his tenure as governor of the state.
His media aide, Muyiwa Adekeye, confirmed in a post on his X handle on Monday night that the former governor had a frank and fruitful interaction with the EFCC officials, just as his counsel said the officials were entirely professional in their approach and conduct.
“He remains with the EFCC,” Adekeye wrote, indicating that he would be in the custody of the agency overnight.
