The corruption case involving former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has been adjourned until December 8, as proceedings continue amid opposition to a bail application filed by one of his co-defendants.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), which is prosecuting the case, opposed the request for bail, setting the stage for further legal arguments over the defendant’s application.
The adjournment means the court will resume hearing the matter on December 8, when the parties are expected to continue addressing the outstanding issues before it.
The case forms part of the legal proceedings surrounding allegations of corruption involving the former governor and others. The allegations remain subject to judicial determination, and the defendants are entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
The latest development comes as the ICPC continues to pursue the case, while the court is expected to consider the pending application and other issues when proceedings resume. Further details of the court’s decision on the bail request are expected as the matter progresses.
