Former aides to ex-Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai have been dragged to court over a 64-million-naira money laundering case.
The former aides are set to be arraigned in court by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The accused are Lawal Shakiru Olajimi Adebisi, a former Senior Special Adviser/Counsellor to El-Rufai; Umar Waziri, the former Accountant General of Kaduna State; and Yusuf Inuwa, the State’s former Commissioner of Finance.
Also named in the case is Solar Life Nigeria Limited, a company alleged to have received the diverted funds.
