El-Rufai Returns To Court After Mother’s Burial

Former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai is currently at a Federal High Court in Kaduna, where his bail application is expected to be heard.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) had arraigned him before Justice Rilwan M. Aikawa on a 10-count charge bordering on alleged conversion and possession of public property as well as money laundering.

The former governor was produced in court after more than a month in detention.

The court subsequently fixed March 31, 2026, to hear pending applications, including a bail request by the former governor.

But on March 27, 2026, the commission released El-Rufai on compassionate grounds following the death of his mother, Hajiya Ummar El-Rufai in Cairo, Egypt.
