JUST IN: El-Rufai to remain in custody as court adjourns bail hearing till March 31
A federal high court sitting in Kaduna State has adjourned proceedings on the bail application of Nasir el-Rufai, a former governor of state to March 31, 2026.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) had arraigned El-Rufai on Tuesday for alleged conversion and possession of public property, as well as money laundering.
At the session, counsel to the defendant, Ukpon Akpan, urged the court to grant bail, citing his client’s constitutional rights and the need to allow adequate time to prepare his defence.
However, the prosecution opposed the request, arguing that the charges against El-Rufai are serious and that granting bail could interfere with ongoing investigations.
