He brought a legal action for the protection of his fundamental rights to the Federal High Court in Kaduna, against the state Assembly.
In the suit filed on his behalf by his lawyer, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, SAN, El-Rufai is challenging the report of the Kaduna Assembly Committee indicting him for alleged corruption.

Joined in the suit as respondents are the Kaduna State House of Assembly and the state Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice.
