Overview
The Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) has asked former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to forward any evidence in his possession on the alleged procurement of a toxic chemical to the Department of State Services for investigation.
This followed a petition addressed to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, in which El-Rufai alleged that about 10 kilograms of thallium sulphate had been sourced from a supplier in Poland.
Thallium sulphate is a highly toxic, colourless and odourless substance capable of causing death in small quantities.
In a response dated February 13, 2026, and signed by a brigadier-general, O.M. Adesuyi, on behalf of the Office of the National Security Adviser, the NSA’s office denied the claim and said the matter had been handed over to the DSS.
