We are waiting for Kaduna Assembly report on El-Rufai – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission have revealed that the Kaduna State House of Assembly was yet to report the alleged N423billion money laundering allegedly committed during the administration of former Governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai.

Recall that the state Assembly had in April set up a 13-man panel, headed by the Deputy Speaker, Henry Danjuma, to probe El-Rufai’s administration over allegations of wanton misappropriation of the state funds, The Punch reports.

The probe by the assembly came weeks after the incumbent governor of the state, Uba Sani, lamented that El-Rufai left him a huge debt profile.

Receiving the report, the Speaker of the Kaduna House of Assembly, Yusuf Liman, said that a total N423bn was siphoned by the El-Rufai’s administration while leaving the state with huge liabilities.

However speaking with Sunday PUNCH on Thursday, ICPC spokesperson, Demola Bakare, said the commission was yet to receive any petition from the state assembly over the money laundering allegations it leveled against the former governor.

Bakare said, “They made that statement, but we have received not the report; but if they bring it, we know what to do. It’s an intention. It’s still an intention, and they have not sent the report to us for investigation,”
