Lawyer Ubong Akpan has threatened to sue ICPC officials personally for their role in the ongoing detention of Nasir El-Rufai.
The former governor's legal team alleges that the anti-corruption agency misled the court to obtain a "void" remand order to keep him behind bars.
The defense argues that the ICPC committed fraud by asking a Magistrate Court in Bwari, Abuja, to handle a case it is not legally allowed to hear.
The lawyer revealed that the ICPC failed to even serve the remand order to El-Rufai, making the entire detention process legally flawed.
The case is being escalated to the Attorney-General, Lateef Fagbemi, and the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, to investigate officials who allegedly lied under oath.
Lawyers working for the ICPC involved in this case will also face complaints at the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee for their conduct over the past two weeks.
