A former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, on Saturday received a stream of political leaders, associates, and well-wishers at his Abuja residence following the death of his mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, who died on Friday in Cairo, Egypt, after a period of illness.
The condolence visits came amid public attention surrounding El-Rufai’s temporary release from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, where he had been held since February 18 over allegations of financial misconduct.
He was granted release on compassionate grounds to enable him to attend his mother’s burial.
