The Kaduna State House of Assembly has recommended the probe of the former governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai, over alleged abuse of office and money laundering.
An ad hoc committee set up by the legislative arm of government made the recommendation on Wednesday.
The committee accused the former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, of diversion of public funds and money laundering.
Henry Zacharia, chairman of the committee, while presenting the report during plenary on Wednesday, said most of the loans obtained by the el-Rufai administration were used for other purposes.

Grassroots Parrot recalled that in April 2024, the assembly inaugurated a 13-member committee to examine the loans, grants, and project implementation in the state during the period el-Rufai was governor between 2015 and 2023.
According to the committee chairman, most of the loans obtained and projects implemented during the period under review “did not follow due process.”.
The Zacharia-led committee also recommended the prosecution of some of the commissioners and officials who worked under el-Rufai.
