Kaduna State House of Assembly has recommended that the immediate-past governor of the state, Nasir el-Rufai, be prosecuted over alleged abuse of office and money laundering during his administration.
This followed the submission of a report by the Henry Zacharia-led ad-hoc committee.
The report, which was presented by Zacharia on Wednesday, revealed that most of the loans obtained under El-Rufai’s administration were not used for their intended purpose, and in some cases, due process was not followed in securing the loans.
The committee, therefore, recommended the investigation and prosecution of the former governor and some other indicted members of his cabinet by security and anti-corruption agencies for abuse of office through the award of contracts without due process, diversion of public funds, and money laundering.
