The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission has granted temporary release to former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on compassionate grounds to enable him attend the burial of his mother.

Sources indicate that the decision was taken in consideration of the personal circumstances surrounding the bereavement, allowing the former governor to participate in final rites before returning to continue with ongoing legal or investigative processes.

The development comes amid his current engagement with the commission, though officials have not disclosed further details regarding the terms or duration of the temporary release.
