Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has made his way to the Kaduna State High Court to continue with his case involving allegations of fraud.
Footage from the ex-governor’s encounter with ADC governorship candidate Isa Kudan, which was uploaded on X, shows him shaking hands and entering the courthouse for the continuation of his trial.
In the midst of ongoing legal disputes over El-Rufai’s incarceration, bail attempts in the Kaduna State case, and a separate controversy surrounding a medical report that was presented in support of his release request, Tuesday’s proceedings are scheduled.
This comes after his most recent bail challenge was rejected by the Court of Appeal, which means that the lower court’s decision to not release him remains in effect.
Keep in mind that Justice Darius Khobo has ordered the former governor, who is currently in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), to appear in court for the continuation of proceedings at the next hearing, which is scheduled for midday.
The ICPC is bringing charges against El-Rufai for alleged financial fraud, corruption, abuse of office, and money laundering.
