El Rufai Arrives Kaduna Court For Resumed Bail Hearing
Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai has arrived at the Federal High Court in Kaduna for the continuation of the hearing on his bail application. He was driven into the court premises at about 9am under tight security provided by police and Department of State Services operatives. Today’s sitting follows an earlier adjournment after the prosecution filed a counter affidavit opposing his bail request. The development had left El Rufai’s lawyers asking for more time to study the new documents, prompting the judge to shift the matter to Wednesday. El Rufai remains in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission as he faces multiple corruption related charges. The case has attracted heavy public interest, with access to parts of the court complex now restricted due to heightened security measures.
