The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) in Nigeria accused former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai of violating the terms of a court-approved medical visit while under their custody. During the scheduled court appearance on July 6, 2026, El-Rufai refused to go to court and insisted on seeing his personal doctor, Professor Bello Abubakar. The ICPC claims that this medical visit, which was approved after the court adjourned the case, was misused for unauthorized activities, as evidenced by photos shared on social media by El-Rufai's associate. As a result, the commission arrested Abubakar for allegedly providing false information. The ICPC emphasized that the medical team acted professionally and respected El-Rufai's privacy during the visit.
