El-Rufai’s son accuses ICPC of denying his father access to food and medical attention
He claimed the refusal flouted a clear court order granting his father unrestricted access to his doctors.
“Second, his wife, Aunty Aichatou, brought his evening meal at around 7pm as she normally does. ICPC personnel turned her away, saying they had orders not to permit food deliveries after 6:30pm, ‘ he wrote.
According to Bello, the arbitrary rules are outright assaults on the rule of law and a clear violation of his father’s constitutional and human rights.
The statement claimed that no lawful detention justifies denying medical access or refusing basic family care based on an arbitrary curfew fixed by the ICPC.
“We demand that all his constitutional rights be fully respected. We will no longer accept this pattern of intimidation dressed up as protocol,” he said.
The commission dragged El-Rufai to court on a nine-count charge bordering on alleged advance fee fraud and money laundering.
