El-Rufai had been in detention under the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over allegations of corrupt practices.

The development was disclosed on Tuesday by political commentator Imran Wakili in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter).

“Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has been granted bail by the Federal High Court,” Wakili stated.

According to CEOAFRICA, El-Rufai—who also served as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory—is currently facing trial over alleged corruption during his tenure as governor of Kaduna State.
