Nigeria’s anti-graft agency holds ex-governor Nasir El-Rufai on remand.

The agency charges he tapped the national security adviser’s phone calls, and El-Rufai calls the prosecution political.

Charges stem from a 2024 Kaduna Assembly probe accusing his 2015-2023 administration of mismanaging public funds.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his lawyers are challenging his continued detention.

A court has postponed his 1 billion naira suit against the agency, the attorney general and police.
