Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has returned to the Kaduna State High Court for the continuation of his trial over alleged financial improprieties.
El-Rufai was seen entering the court premises under tight security presence, with officials closely monitoring movements around the facility as proceedings resumed.
It was gathered that he would proceed to the federal high court in Kaduna afterwards for the hearing of his bail application.
The former governor’s return to the court comes after a subsequent temporary release by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.

The release was alleged to have been approved on compassionate grounds following the family’s bereavement, although the ICPC has yet to officially disclose the specific conditions attached to the bail.
It remains unclear whether the former governor will retain his temporary bail status or be required to return to ICPC custody pending further court decisions.
