Court adjourns El-Rufai’s bail hearing to March 31

A Federal High Court in Kaduna State has adjourned the bail application of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai to March 31, 2026.

The adjournment came after Tuesday’s proceedings, during which both the prosecution and the defense presented their legal arguments.

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.
