 El-Rufai To Honour EFCC Invitation On Monday


Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is set to appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at 10:00 a.m. on Monday.


His lawyer, Ubong Esop Akpan, disclosed this on Thursday while responding to an alleged attempt by security operatives to arrest the former governor at the Abuja airport.


According to Akpan, El-Rufai was approached by security officials shortly after arriving in Abuja on Egypt Air flight MS 877 from Cairo. 


He described the action as a violation of his client’s constitutional rights and an example of executive overreach.


The counsel explained that the EFCC’s invitation was delivered to El-Rufai’s residence while he was outside the country, making immediate compliance impractical.


He added that the legal team had written to the commission in December 2025, informing it that the former governor would respond upon his return.

Akpan said the EFCC was formally notified that El-Rufai would voluntarily present himself at the commission’s office by 10:00 a.m. on Monday, February 16, 2026. 


He argued that any attempt to arrest him despite this commitment undermines due process.

He further maintained that there were no grounds for the attempted arrest and called for the return of El-Rufai’s passport, as well as an apology for what he termed an infringement on his client’s rights.


El-Rufai has publicly stated his willingness to cooperate with any legitimate investigation.
