Nigeria’s political scene faces a fresh wave of tension as former Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, on Wednesday, filed a lawsuit against the State House of Assembly.
The lawsuit challenges the Assembly’s decision to investigate alleged misappropriation of N432 billion ($1 billion USD) in public funds.
The Kaduna State House of Assembly initiated the probe in May 2024, accusing the El-Rufai administration of mismanaging or diverting a significant portion of public funds. The specific details of the alleged misappropriation haven’t been made public yet.
