Malam Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State, 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.
GISTSMATE MEDIA earlier reported that El-Rufai alleged plans by security operatives to arrest his elder brother, Bashir, if he had stepped foot in Nigeria for their mother’s burial.
He claimed that the plot was to arrest Bashir and get him to negotiate.
Speaking in a video, the chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, disclosed that Bashir had to miss their mother’s burial in a bid to evade arrest.
According to El-Rufai: “My elder brother Bashir El-Rufai couldn’t make it because we learned that there is a plan to arrest him because they believe if they get him, I will negotiate.”
