Nasir El-Rufai’s legal troubles are growing as three different agencies—the EFCC, DSS, and ICPC—all move against him.
The former governor, who turned himself in on Monday, is currently being held at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja.
Investigators are comparing El-Rufai’s story with statements from his former cabinet members. Because there are "so many documents" to go through, the agency says they aren't releasing him yet.
The ICPC is opening a new file against him regarding a Kaduna light rail project that allegedly failed despite huge funding.
The DSS has already filed three criminal charges against him for allegedly spying on Nuhu Ribadu. They are waiting for him to leave the EFCC so they can bring him to court.
El-Rufai’s team described the questioning as "frank and fruitful" and praised the investigators for being professional, even though their boss remains behind bars.
