Operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) have apprehended Shizzer Joy Nasara Bada, the former Commissioner of Finance and Accountant General under Nasir el-Rufai’s administration in Kaduna State.<\/h3>\n

Bada was reportedly arrested on Sunday at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos while attempting to travel abroad.<\/p>\n

The arrest comes amid growing suspicions that Bada might be fleeing the country due to ongoing corruption investigations linked to both herself and former Governor el-Rufai.<\/p>\n

ICPC officials had reportedly been tracking her movements after receiving intelligence that she might attempt to evade questioning.<\/p>\n

This move is part of a broader investigation targeting several high-ranking officials from el-Rufai\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

According to Saharareporters, sources suggest the scrutiny is centered on alleged financial mismanagement during their time in office, with multiple individuals under investigation for their roles.<\/p>\n

The Kaduna State House of Assembly recently indicted el-Rufai for allegedly embezzling \u20a6423 billion from the state treasury.<\/p>\n

Though the exact charges against Bada have not yet been disclosed, insiders believe they involve significant financial irregularities and misappropriation of public funds.<\/p>\n

Bada\u2019s arrest has sparked widespread speculation, with many questioning whether this marks the start of a larger investigation into the former governor\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

The ICPC is expected to release further details as the investigation progresses, potentially revealing the extent of corruption within the previous leadership.<\/p>\n

Former Governor el-Rufai, meanwhile, has launched a legal challenge against the Kaduna State House of Assembly after it accused his administration of mismanaging \u20a6432 billion during his eight-year tenure.<\/p>\n

His attorney, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, filed a fundamental rights lawsuit in June, seeking to contest the claims made against him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
