They argued that there is currently no valid legal backing for the former governor’s detention.
El-Rufai has been in custody since February 16 after reporting to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and was later transferred to the ICPC two days later.
The commission is investigating allegations involving €1.4 million, over N2.1 billion in payments and additional transfers exceeding N428 million.
While the ICPC maintains that its actions follow the law and its investigative mandate, the family insists the continued detention is unlawful and politically driven, demanding his immediate release.
