The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Tuesday arraigned former Governor Nasir El-Rufai before the Federal High Court, Kaduna.

El-Rufai who was brought to court by security operatives in the morning in a Toyota Hilux vehicle, was held in the vehicle for about 25 minutes before he was later escorted into the courtroom.

Heavy security was also deployed around court as well as the busy Anguwan Sarki – Kawo Axis road by security operatives who also formed a protective cordon around him into the courtroom.

Journalists, who were at the court to cover the proceedings, were not barred from entering the courtroom.

El-Rufai’s two wives and his son, Bello El-Rufai, a federal lawmaker representing Kaduna North, were also in court.
