Separately, the ICPC has filed another suit (KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26) before the Kaduna State High Court against El-Rufai and Amadu Sule of LEDA, bordering on abuse of office, fraud, attempted fraud, and conferring undue advantage.

The Commission confirmed that El-Rufai has been duly served and reiterated its commitment to due process and the rule of law.
