Some constituents of Kaduna North Federal Constituency have petitioned the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to investigate a publicly reported allegation of cocaine use involving their representative, Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai. The petition, dated September 8, 2026, was signed by Abubakar Hayatu and Musa Tukur on behalf of the constituents, following allegations made on social media on August 29 by Bashir El-Rufai, the lawmaker's brother. The constituents stated they are not asking the NDLEA to presume guilt or conduct an unlawful compulsory test, but want an independent assessment. Media reports have documented the social media exchange but noted the allegations are unverified.
