The Federal High Court in Kaduna has fixed July 1 to rule on the bail applications of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and his co-defendant, Jimi Lawal, in an alleged corruption case filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.
El-Rufai appeared before two separate courts in Kaduna on Wednesday over allegations of abuse of office, financial misconduct, and money laundering.
At the Federal High Court, he, Jimi Lawal, and several companies were arraigned on an amended 11-count charge and pleaded not guilty.
Following arguments on their bail applications, Justice Hauwa’u Buhari adjourned ruling until July 1.
El-Rufai also appeared before the Kaduna State High Court in a separate ICPC case before Justice Darius Khobo, who adjourned proceedings to June 29 for further hearing.
The former governor and the other defendants have denied all charges and pleaded not guilty.
