Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna State has adjourned proceedings on the bail application of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai to March 31st, 2026.
The decision followed Tuesday’s hearing, during which legal arguments were presented by both the prosecution and the defense.
At the court session, counsel to the defendant, Ukpon Akpan, urged the court to grant his client bail, citing constitutional rights and the need to allow the former governor adequate time to prepare his defence.
However, the prosecution opposed the application, arguing that the charges against El-Rufai are serious and that granting bail could interfere with ongoing investigations.
