Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has returned to the federal High Court for the continuation of his trial over alleged financial improprieties.

El-Rufai was seen entering the court premises under tight but orderly security presence, with officials closely monitoring movements around the facility as proceedings resumed.

The former governor’s return in the court comes after subsequent temporary release by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.

DAILY POST reported how he was allowed to attend the funeral rites of his late mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, who died in Cairo, Egypt.

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.

As of the time of filing this report, 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.
