Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has urged the Federal High Court in Abuja to bar the anti-corruption and security agencies from taking steps to freeze his bank accounts or seize his property.
Mr El-Rufai, in a fresh suit filed by his lawyer, Oluwole Iyamu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), urged the court to issue an order of interim injunction directing the respondents to maintain “the status quo ante” pending the hearing and determination of the application and his main suit.
The respondents are the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the State Security Service (SSS), which are either investigating or already prosecuting him.
The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) is also a co-defendant.
El-Rufai urged the court to issue the restraining order against the agencies to prevent a fait accompli.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the former governor, detained by the ICPC for the past one week, filed the suit through his lawyer on 24 February (Tuesday).
