Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday appeared before the Kaduna State High Court as proceedings in his ongoing legal battle resumed.
The case, which involves the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), centers on allegations of financial misconduct brought against the former governor.
El-Rufai was earlier arraigned on a 10-count charge, including claims related to the alleged conversion of public assets and money laundering.
The anti-corruption agency accused him of mismanaging government resources during his tenure in office.
During the latest court session, proceedings focused on the continuation of arguments surrounding his bail application.

The court, however, adjourned further hearing on the matter to April 14, 2026.
The former governor arrived at the court premises amid noticeable security presence, drawing attention from supporters, legal observers, and members of the public who gathered to follow the high-profile case.
Legal representatives on both sides are expected to continue their submissions when the case resumes, as the court considers whether to grant bail pending trial.
The case remains one of the most closely watched legal developments involving a former state executive, with broader implications for accountability and anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria.
