El-Rufai Resumes Bail Hearing at Federal High Court Kaduna

Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, arrived at the Federal High Court in Kaduna for the resumed hearing of his bail application. The hearing follows a previous stall in proceedings due to serious legal maneuvers introduced by his defense team.

The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has returned El-Rufai to custody, with a release date set for March 27, 2026, following the death of his mother. The trial continues as El-Rufai faces allegations of financial impropriety.

The court session on Tuesday was marked by heightened security operations in the vicinity, indicating the sensitive nature of the case.
