A Federal High Court has granted bail to former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, as he continues to face trial over alleged corruption.
El-Rufai had been in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), which is prosecuting him for alleged offences linked to his time in office.
The development was disclosed on Tuesday by political commentator Imran Wakili in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), where he confirmed that the court had approved bail for the former governor.

Although the court has granted his release, details of the bail conditions were not immediately made public at the time of filing this report.
El-Rufai, who also served as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, is being tried over allegations of corrupt practices during his tenure as governor of Kaduna State.
The case has continued to attract public attention, especially following recent developments, including amended charges filed against him by the anti-corruption agency.
Further updates are expected as the trial progresses and more details about the bail conditions emerge.
