Imran U. Wakili, a well-known social media commentator, has suggested that the sudden release of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) indicates that his detention may have been unjustified.

Reports indicate that the ICPC released the former governor shortly after news emerged of the passing of his mother, Hajiya Umma, on Friday.
Reacting to the development in a post on X, Wakili alleged that El-Rufai’s prolonged detention was not based on any established wrongdoing, but was rather an attempt by authorities to embarrass him.
According to the social media influencer, the timing of the release shows that there were ulterior motives behind the arrest and detention.
“The sudden release of Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai shows that they were only keeping him to humiliate him, not because he committed any crime,” Wakili wrote.
He added that though the release may indicate “a little conscience,” it also underscores what he described as unjust treatment.
