Alleged Financial Misconduct: El-Rufai Arrives In Kaduna High Court For Resumed Trial
The hearing follows the Court of Appeal’s rejection of his bail challenge and a judge’s order for the ICPC to produce him in court.
- On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai arrived at the Kaduna State High Court for the resumed substantive trial, accompanied by African Democratic Congress governorship candidate Isah Ashiru under tight security.
- The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has held El-Rufai in custody since February 18, 2026, while he faces trial for alleged corruption, financial fraud, abuse of office, and money laundering.
- A three-member panel unanimously dismissed El-Rufai's latest bail appeal on October 9, affirming the Kaduna State High Court's refusal to release him after ruling he failed to establish sufficient grounds for interference.
- ICPC lead counsel Ayodeji Adedipe and defense counsel Paul Erokoro coordinated trial scheduling during Tuesday's hearing, with proceedings advancing after Justice Darius Khobo directed the agency to produce El-Rufai in court.
- Defense counsel argued that continued detention hampers El-Rufai's ability to prepare his defense and access legal counsel, while the trial examines financial offences linked to transactions during his 2015–2023 governorship.
