Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, has departed Abuja for his country home in Kaduna, after he was released from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

The former governor was released by the anti-graft agency against a court order, which earlier ordered his detainment and postponed his bail hearing. Sources within the ICPC disclosed that El-Rufai was released on compassionate grounds so that he could attend his mother’s burial in Kaduna.

On Friday, March 27, the family announced the death of Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, the biological mother of the former governor, and she is expected to be buried on Saturday, March 28, according to Islamic rites.
