The Federal High Court has granted former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai bail in the amount of N200 million in connection with a corruption case brought by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The court's decision followed Mr El-Rufai's appearance before it, though specific details of the bail conditions were not immediately disclosed. One known condition, however, prohibits him from giving any media interviews related to the case. The ICPC is prosecuting Mr El-Rufai over allegations of corruption, though the exact nature of the charges was not detailed in the initial report. The development marks a significant turn in the legal proceedings against the former governor, who served as Kaduna State's chief executive between 2015 and 2023. His legal team confirmed the bail grant but declined to provide further commentary. The ICPC has not issued a public statement outlining the specifics of the case or the evidence it intends to present.
