ICPC Arrests Former Kaduna Commissioner, Bada, Over Alleged Financial Mismanagement
By : Umar Faruk
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arrested former Kaduna State Commissioner, Bada, following an intelligence report suggesting attempts to evade investigation.
The arrest is part of a broader probe into officials who served under former Governor Nasir el-Rufai's administration, with multiple figures under scrutiny for alleged financial mismanagement.
El-Rufai has been indicted by the Kaduna State House of Assembly for allegedly syphoning N423 billion from the state treasury.
While specific allegations against Bada remain unclear, insiders suggest connections to large-scale financial irregularities, including mismanaged public funds and embezzlement.
Bada's arrest has sparked interest, with observers questioning whether this marks the beginning of a wider probe into El-Rufai's administration.
The ICPC is expected to provide more details as the investigation unfolds.
In related news, Ex-Gov.El-Rufai initiated legal action against the Kaduna State House of Assembly in June, disputing claims of N432 billion misappropriation during his tenure.
