A former Special Adviser to immediate past Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has been summoned by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Mr. Jimi Lawal was invited over an alleged phoney Light Rail Project valued at N11 billion. It was learnt that there was no contract file for the implementation of the purported light rail project but it was allegedly paid for in full.
Although Lawal was scheduled to appear before ICPC team of investigators yesterday, he failed to show up and he was not represented.
The anti-graft agency, requested the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) to place the former adviser on watch-list at airports, seaports and land borders.
According to the commission, Lawal is being probed in connection with “loans (foreign and domestic) obtained without following due process.”
