The EFCC is investigating El-Rufai for allegedly misappropriating N432 billion in state funds during his 2015-2023 tenure, based on a 2024 Kaduna Assembly report citing improper loans, shady contracts, and diversions like N1.37 billion from a light rail project.
Separately, federal charges accuse him of unlawfully intercepting calls by mentioning National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu's alleged arrest order during a TV appearance.
As EFCC seeks a court remand and reactions divide between supporters calling it political and protesters demanding accountability, El-Rufai denies the claims and says loans funded key infrastructure.
