The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has accused wife of detained former Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai of breaching laid down protocol during her visits to the commission’s office.
Addressing journalists at the ICPC headquarters in Abuja, the Commission’s Spokesman and Head of the Media and Public Communications Unit, John Odey, said claims circulating in a viral video interview by one of El-Rufai’s wives were “false and misleading.
It dismissed allegations by Mrs Nasir el-Rufai, that she was denied access to deliver food to her husband while in custody, insisting that its security and access control protocols apply to all persons without exception.
The Commission also denied that the former governor’s health is deteriorating, maintaining that the former governor was in good health and had continued to receive food, medical attention and family visits in line with established procedures.
He explained that its access control policy permits visitors into its premises between 9am and 6:30pm, adding that the protocol predates the current leadership of the commission and is strictly enforced nationwide.
According to him, the woman in question arrived at about 7pm, outside the approved access window, despite previously complying with the regulation.
“The ICPC wishes to state categorically that these claims are false and misleading.”
He emphasised that members of El-Rufai’s family were allowed access to deliver food to him several times on the same day.
