Ex-El-Rufai Aide Saidu Remanded After Bail Revocation

Saidu, the former chief of staff to ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has been remanded in custody after a court in Kaduna State revoked his bail. This decision follows multiple charges against him, including allegations of financial misconduct.

The court proceedings took place on Wednesday, with sources familiar with the case confirming the development. Saidu had previously been granted bail and spent 50 days in detention last year before meeting the bail conditions that allowed him to regain his freedom.

He is known to be an associate of El-Rufai and remains active in the political circles of Kaduna State, particularly involved with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Following the latest developments, Saidu is expected to remain in custody until the next hearing of his case, which is scheduled for next month.
