Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, appeared at the Kaduna State High Court today, April [insert date], as proceedings resumed in his ongoing trial instituted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
El-Rufai is being tried alongside Amadu Sule over allegations including abuse of office, fraud, intent to commit fraud, and conferring undue advantage.
Before entering the courtroom, El-Rufai was overheard discussing the forthcoming convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with a close associate.
“So tomorrow is our convention, right?” he asked, indicating his continued involvement in party affairs despite his legal challenges.
The former Governor faces another 10-count charge at the Federal High Court in Kaduna, bordering on alleged abuse of office, money laundering, and fraud involving N579.6 million and $1.1 million, filed by the ICPC. A bail hearing in the case has been scheduled for April 14.
The trial is ongoing.
