 El-Rufai To Remain In ICPC Custody As Court Delays Bail Hearing Until June Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai will remain in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) until at least June 2026 after his bail hearing was postponed. Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court adjourned the hearing to the first week of June.  El-Rufai is currently facing an amended nine-count charge involving alleged fraud and abuse of office brought against him by the ICPC.

 LAWMA DEBUNKS CLAIMS OF UNPAID COMPENSATION TO LATE HIGHWAY SANITATION WORKER


The attention of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has been drawn to a recent publication by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), alleging that the Lagos State Government has failed to fulfil its promise to compensate the family of late Mrs. Aishat Muhammed, a highway sanitation worker, who tragically lost her life in the line of duty on May 7, 2025.


LAWMA wishes to categorically state that the claim is inaccurate and does not reflect the true position of events.


Following the unfortunate incident, the Authority, through its operational partner, Highway Managers, the company that directly engaged the deceased, immediately commenced discussions with the family. After due engagement, a mutually agreed compensation arrangement was reached.


In line with this agreement, a total sum of ₦4,340,000 was paid to the deceased’s son as full and final compensation. The payment covered the insurance settlement from the responsible party, burial support, and additional financial assistance, including salary support extended to the family after the incident.


The agreed compensation was duly received, and the matter was considered concluded based on the understanding reached with the family.


LAWMA remains deeply saddened by the tragic loss and extends its continued sympathies to the family. The Authority remains fully committed to prioritising the welfare, safety, and protection of all sanitation workers across Lagos State. In addition, relevant compliance and safety measures have been further strengthened to safeguard its workforce.


We respectfully urge media organisations to seek proper clarification before publication in order to ensure accurate, balanced, and responsible reporting.
