El-Rufai Remains in Custody as Court Adjourns Bail Hearing

‎A Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna State has adjourned ruling on the bail application of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai to March 31, 2026.

‎

‎The decision followed Tuesday’s hearing, during which both the prosecution and defence presented their arguments.

‎

‎Counsel to the defendant, Ukpon Akpan, urged the court to grant bail, citing his client’s constitutional rights and the need to adequately prepare his defence.

‎

‎The prosecution, however, opposed the request, arguing that the charges against El-Rufai are serious and that granting bail could hinder ongoing investigations.
