El-Rufai had earlier responded to an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on February 16.
He stayed in the agency’s custody for two days before he was moved to the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission for further questioning over alleged financial misconduct.
The coalition said the remand order obtained by investigators had already expired, insisting that prolonged detention without charges goes against constitutional protections and international human rights commitments.
It also warned that the use of state institutions against political figures could raise concerns about fairness in Nigeria’s democracy.
