 ICPC Arraigns El-Rufai, Jimi Lawal, Five Others Over Alleged ₦8.6 Billion CCTV Contract Fraud


The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, his former Senior Special Adviser and Counsellor, Mr. Jimi Adebisi Lawal, and five other defendants over alleged corruption, money laundering, and related offences.


The defendants were charged in an 11-count amended charge filed before Justice Hauwa’u Buhari of the Federal High Court, Kaduna, under Charge No. FHC/KD/93C/2026.


Also listed as defendants are Singularity Network Security Limited, Solar Life Nigeria Limited, Knowledge Investment Nigeria Limited, Intercellular Nigeria Limited, and Noble Coast Resources Limited. Bashir El-Rufai, identified as an elder brother of the former governor and currently at large, was also mentioned in one of the counts.


According to the ICPC, El-Rufai allegedly approved the award of a contract worth ₦8.68 billion for the procurement, survey planning, design, and installation of a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance system in Kaduna metropolis to Singularity Network Security Limited, a company the Commission claims lacked the required qualifications and experience, contrary to procurement regulations.


The Commission further alleged that proceeds from the contract were subsequently transferred through several companies and individuals in transactions spanning multiple years.


The amended charge includes allegations relating to the possession, receipt, and movement of funds suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities, involving billions of naira. The offences are said to contravene provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.


In one of the counts, the ICPC accused El-Rufai of aiding corruption by approving the contract award despite alleged violations of procurement laws and the contractor’s lack of requisite experience.


The Commission also alleged that the defendants knowingly received and controlled more than ₦2 billion through transactions involving Singularity Network Security Limited, Solar Life Nigeria Limited, Knowledge Investment Nigeria Limited, Intercellular Nigeria Limited, and Noble Coast Resources Limited between 2017 and 2022.


Both El-Rufai and Lawal pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read in court.


The case was subsequently adjourned until July 1, 2026, when the court is expected to rule on the defendants’ bail applications.
