El-Rufai Sues Kaduna Assembly Over N432 Billion Probe Report

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has dragged the Kaduna State House of Assembly to court.

 

El-Rufai dragged the State Assembly to court for claiming his eight-year administration allegedly siphoned N432bn and leaving the state with huge debt liabilities.

 

El-Rufai filed a fundamenatal rights suit at Federal High Court in Kaduna against state House of Assembly on Wednesday, according to Channels Television.

 

The suit, filed by the ex-governor’s lawyer Abdulhakeem Mustapha, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, challenged the report of the Kaduna Assembly Committee which indicted El-Rufai for alleged corruption.

 

In the suit, El-Rufai asked the court to declare the report of the Assembly probe as null and void having not been given the opportunity of fair hearing over the allegations levelled against him and his administration by the committee.

 

Joined in the suit as respondents are the Kaduna State House of Assembly and  state Attorney General and  Commissioner of Justice.
