According to a report by Daily Post on Friday, May 22, 2026, former Deputy Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, Timi Frank, has raised concerns regarding the health and safety of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, who is reportedly in the custody of the Department of State Security Service.
Frank expressed concern over recent developments surrounding El-Rufai’s condition while in custody, especially claims involving medical examination and access to him.
His comments added to ongoing public attention around the former governor’s situation and the circumstances of his detention, which have continued to generate discussion within political and civic circles.
Frank alleged that a medical doctor from Russia was brought in on Thursday to examine El-Rufai while he was still under the custody of the security agency.
He further claimed that the examination was carried out without the consent or approval of El-Rufai’s family members.
According to his statement, the presence of a foreign medical practitioner in such circumstances raised questions about procedure and transparency in the handling of the former governor’s health condition.
He also suggested that the development required clarification from the relevant authorities to ensure that proper medical and legal standards were being followed in the process.
The former APC official also questioned the reasoning behind allowing a foreign doctor to assess El-Rufai without what he described as proper consultation with his family.
He expressed concern that such actions could lead to public suspicion regarding the treatment and welfare of individuals in custody.
Frank further referenced El-Rufai’s last public appearance at the Federal High Court, where he observed that the former governor appeared to be in stable health at the time.
Based on this, he raised concerns about the necessity and circumstances surrounding the reported medical intervention while El-Rufai remained under detention.
Frank further stated that the handling of El-Rufai’s situation should be closely monitored to ensure that established procedures are respected.
He emphasized the importance of safeguarding the dignity and wellbeing of individuals in custody, particularly those who are high-profile public figures.
He also urged relevant stakeholders, including community leaders and concerned citizens, to remain attentive to developments related to the matter.
Without making direct statements attributed to any individual or authority, he expressed concern about ensuring that no situation arises that could endanger the life or health of the former governor while in custody.
He said, “I pray that northern elders and youths will not sit back and watch anything untoward happen to Mallam El-Rufai.”
