Press Release: Our father, Mallam Nasir @elrufai, is still being held by the ICPC. Today, 15 May 2026, we witnessed two distinct yet equally serious attacks on his basic rights. First, his personal Doctor visited the ICPC at about 3pm to discuss the results of medical tests recently conducted on our father. Officials at the agency blocked the doctor from seeing him, claiming that written permission from the ICPC Chairman was required. This directly flouts a clear court order granting Mallam Nasir El‑Rufai unrestricted access to his doctors.
Second, his wife, Aunty Aichatou, brought his evening meal at around 7pm as she normally does. ICPC personnel turned her away, saying they had orders not to permit food deliveries after 6:30pm. This arbitrary rule is no less offensive than blocking his right to medical care.
These acts are an outright assault on the rule of law and a clear violation of our father's constitutional and human rights. No lawful detention justifies denying medical access or refusing basic family care based on an arbitrary curfew fixed by the ICPC. Shame on them as an institution.
We demand that all his constitutional rights be fully respected. We will no longer accept this pattern of intimidation dressed up as protocol. The ICPC must abide by the very laws it claims to enforce.

The only reason Nasir El-Rufai is in detention and Alhaji Yahaya Bello is free is because one is a threat to the 2027 re-election, while the other is not. The charges leveled against each of the two tell a different story.
No negotiations, no deal!
We will grab America by the throat and drown it in the Strait of Hormuz. If they try to attack us by land, only then will they see what we are ready for.
We are not Gaza, Venezuela or Cuba, your propaganda does not work here.
See their buses. One moron in Nigeria using dusting powder to treat heat rash will say they’re “suffering and oppressed”.
Don’t face your own oppressors. Be inheriting battles that are of no significance to you.
“So why are they protesting?” Mumu. Can you even protest where you are? Your government go shoot you and nothing go happen.
So who is the real oppressed? Keypad advocate.
The story of Malam Bashar Sani is the reality of Northern Nigeria today !!!
He was a Director at the College of Education, Maru, in Zamfara State !!!
Years ago, bandits kidnapped his 2 wives !!!
He paid N10 million to free them !!!
Months later, they came for his junior brother, Hassan !!!
He paid another N3.5 million !!!
Terrified, he relocated his family to a crowded area, hoping for safety !!!
For a year and a half, they had peace !!!
Then the bandits found them again !!!
They kidnapped him, the same wife taken years before, and his daughter !!!
The ransom was N20 million, he managed to raise N7 million Naira !!!
It wasn’t enough !!!
They killed him after 42 days in captivity !!!
They released his wife and daughter !!!
One man !!! 3 kidnappings !!! Millions paid !!!
Still dead !!!
This is not a story !!!
This is what happens every day in our villages, our communities, our local governments !!!
May the soul of Malam Bashar Sani rest in peace !!!
Allah ya jikan sa, Allah ya bawa iyalansa hakuri !!!
Benjamin Netanyahu is a terrorist and nothing will stop us from saying that.
@OfficialDSSNG if you think arresting us will stop that then you better have a rethink.
Dear reader;
why are you sad? Is it because you are yet to get married? Are you worried about your age ticking away? Thinking you won't have children in time because of this delay? My sister/brother, Allah has a better plan for you. Trust Allah, focus on yourself, and know that everything will fall into place when the time is right . May Allah answer all our Du'as. Ameen
Did you notice how the APC PR team stays silent when bandits slaughter innocent people in Kebbi,Kwara,and Zamfara? Not a word of sympathy,not a single show of concern. Yet the moment it’s time to defend the NSA or Tinubu,they flood the media with excuses,spin,and empty narratives
You’ve been on holiday abi 😎.
Ómò Buhari suffered from every region village idiots from north to south.
Some collect gigs and for some it’s personal because Buhari block their looting loopholes.

DAY 4
Our night cap tonight is essentially a flash back.
On May 3rd 2010, Mallam Nasir @elrufai was grilled for more than nine hours by detectives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mallam El-Rufai had arrived the country a few days earlier after nearly two years in self imposed exile to answer the @officialEFCC summons.
He had been declared wanted by the Commission for allegedly misappropriating N32 billion while serving as Minister of the FCT under the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo administration amidst speculations that he was a potential candidate for the 2011 presidential elections.
He was granted bail later that day.
His then lawyer, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, told reporters that his client returned "to Nigeria to clear his name. He has submitted himself willingly, he has answered all the questions and that is it."
The former FCT Minister, inspite of the initial accusation of misappropriating N32 Billion was eventually charged to court by the Commission for abuse of office.
On Thursday 12th December 2013, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai was discharged and acquitted of the charge by an FCT High Court.
Fast forward to February 2026.
Mallam Nasir El-Rufai was again invited by the EFCC, this time over matters relating to his tenure as Governor of Kaduna State from 2015-2023.
He arrived Nigeria from Egypt where he had been on vacation on Thursday 12th February 2026 and on Monday 16th February 2026, he willfully made himself available to the Commission to answer the summons.
Since then, he has been to the EFCC, @icpcnigeria and now reportedly with the @OfficialDSSNG.
It is pertinent to reiterate, as is self evident, that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has never been shy of accountability. On the contrary, at every point in time that he had been called upon for accountability, he had willingly made himself available.
As law abiding citizens, we, his supporters continue to applaud his integrity, exceptional service records and his contributions to the nation as a public servant and his exemplary conduct as a Nigerian citizen and leader.
We continue to commend the relevant Agencies for their conduct thus far and we demand that it continues so. Every Nigerian is innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. We are confident that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai will be vindicated.

Malam @elrufai isn’t new to this game.
In 2008 while away, he’s declared wanted by the @officialEFCC.
On his return, he voluntarily reported & was quizzed over “N32 bn Fraud”.
But on arraignment, the charges changed to “Abuse of Office”.
He was discharged & acquitted in 2013.
