ICPC charges El-Rufai’s doctor with forgery over alleged fake medical statement
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has filed a four-count charge against Bello Abubakar, an oncology consultant at the National Hospital, Abuja, accusing him of forging a medical report used to seek bail for former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on health grounds.
Hospital denies authorising report Court filings show that the National Hospital’s Chief Medical Director, Raji Mahmud, is expected to testify that Mr Abubakar purportedly issued the medical report in Mr El-Rufai’s favour without conducting the required medical examination and handed it to the family to support the bail application.
The charges, filed on Friday, accuse the oncology consultant of knowingly issuing a false medical report to mislead a public officer and support Mr El-Rufai’s bail application in a separate case, marked KDH/KAD/ICPC/02/2026, pending before the Kaduna State High Court.
