The Federal High Court in Kaduna has put off the hearing of Nasir El-Rufai's bail application until the next day, Wednesday.
Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna State, is currently facing trial. His bail application was scheduled to be heard on March 31, but the court decided to postpone it to the following day.
Justice Rilwanu, the presiding judge, had initially set March 31 as the date for the hearing after listening to the arguments from both the defence and prosecution sides.
Nasir El-Rufai's bail application has been delayed, and the court will reconvene on Wednesday to continue the proceedings. This brief adjournment may seem inconsequential, but it underscores the complexities of the trial that has been ongoing for some time. The implication is that El-Rufai will remain in custody for at least another day, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his case.
