The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, has returned a former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, to its custody.
Newspot reports that El-Rufai was released from custody on March 27, 2026, following the death of his mother,
He was, however, re-arraigned earlier on March 24, 2026, with the court adjourning his bail application till March 31, 2026.
The former governor had appeared at the Kaduna State High Court for a separate charge filed against him by the ICPC.
However, the absence of the second defendant stalled the hearing, which was then adjourned to April 10, 2026.
It was after the Kaduna State High Court appearance that the former governor was taken to the Federal High Court, Kaduna, where his bail application is expected to be heard.
