Group petitions EFCC, ICPC over alleged N423bn allegedly misappropriated by El-Rufai

A Kaduna-based civil society organization, the Kaduna Citizens Watch for Good Governance (KCWGG), has petitioned Nigeria’s anti-corruption agencies over allegations of financial impropriety by Governor Nasir El-Rufai and his administration.

The petition, addressed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), accuses El-Rufai and other officials of misappropriating N423 billion ($970 million) during his eight-year tenure.

The KCWGG chairman, Comrade Victor Duniya, during a press conference, on Wednesday, called for a swift investigation into the alleged mismanagement, embezzlement, and other unlawful financial activities.
