The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has accused former Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai of misusing a court-approved medical visit while in custody.

The commission claims El-Rufai abused the court order by using the visit for non-medical purposes, leading to the arrest of his personal physician, Professor Bello Abubakar, for making false statements.The incident occurred during a court hearing where El-Rufai failed to appear and requested a consultation with his doctor.

The court had ordered the visit, but photos shared on social media showed El-Rufai meeting with his doctor and others, which the ICPC says violated the court's directive.The commission emphasized it will report the breach to the court and has tightened its approach to managing suspects in custody.This case highlights ongoing legal battles against high-profile figures and the ICPC's commitment to upholding judicial orders.

The arrest of the doctor and the commission's response underscore the seriousness of the allegations and the potential consequences for those involved.
