A court has granted bail to former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in his ongoing corruption trial.
According to emerging reports, the bail was granted by a Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna after weeks of legal proceedings and detention.
El-Rufai had been facing multiple charges filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), including allegations related to abuse of office, financial misconduct, and improper handling of public funds.
His legal team argued strongly for bail, emphasizing his constitutional rights and ties within Nigeria, while the prosecution raised concerns about possible interference with witnesses.
The court’s decision to grant bail marks a significant development in the high-profile case, which has drawn nationwide attention and is expected to continue in the coming weeks.
