Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has reportedly lost his bail application and will remain in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

The ruling followed a court decision on his application for bail, which was dismissed pending further proceedings in the ongoing matter.

El-Rufai had approached the court seeking interim release while the substantive issues surrounding the case are being determined.

The ICPC is expected to continue its investigation and legal processes in accordance with the court’s directives.

Further details surrounding the charges and next steps in the case are expected to emerge as proceedings continue.
