El-Rufai has initiated legal proceedings in response to allegations from the Kaduna State House of Assembly that his eight-year administration misappropriated ₦432 billion, leading to significant financial liabilities for the state. On Wednesday, El-Rufai’s attorney, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, filed the lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Kaduna. 

The legal action challenges the findings of the Kaduna Assembly Committee, which accused El-Rufai of corruption. El-Rufai disputes these allegations, seeking to defend his fundamental rights and clear his name.
