The former Accountant-General and Finance Commissioner during Nasir el-Rufai’s administration in Kaduna State, Shizzer Joy Nasara Bada, was arrested yesterday by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) at a Lagos airport.
Bada was reportedly attempting to flee the country when ICPC operatives apprehended her, raising suspicions of a potential escape in light of mounting corruption allegations.

The arrest is part of a broader crackdown on officials from el-Rufai’s administration, with several figures now under scrutiny for their roles in the financial management of the state.
While the specific allegations against Bada remain undisclosed, insiders believe they are connected to large-scale financial irregularities, including the mismanagement of public funds and alleged embezzlement.
The ICPC has hinted that more high-profile arrests could follow as investigations continue into the financial conduct of key officials during el-Rufai’s tenure.
Bada’s arrest has sparked widespread interest, with political observers questioning whether this could signal the beginning of a wider probe into the former governor’s administration.
The Commission is expected to provide more details as the investigation progresses, potentially exposing a web of corruption that could implicate several top figures.
Public reactions have been mixed, with some applauding the ICPC’s swift action.
Whatever the outcome, the ongoing investigation promises to shed light on the financial dealings of el-Rufai’s administration and could have far-reaching consequences.
