BREAKING: Court grants bail to El-Rufai
Bello, a member of the House of Representatives, told journalists that the family is working to fulfil the bail conditions.
“We are happy that Malam has been granted bail. The bail conditions will be met because we believe in the rule of law,” he said.
El-Rufai’s counsel, Ubong Akpan (SAN), declined comment, stating that the lead counsel would address the press.
Also confirming the development, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and close ally of El-Rufai, Hayatudeen Lawal Makarfi, said some conditions were attached to the bail.
He expressed optimism that the conditions would soon be met.
El-Rufai was arraigned by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) on a nine-count charge bordering on abuse of office.
