The Kaduna State High Court has adjourned the bail hearing of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai to the first week of June 2026.

According to Channels Television on Tuesday, Justice Darius Khobo moved the date after proceedings in the ongoing case in which the former governor is facing multiple charges bordering on alleged financial crime and abuse of office filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.

Speaking after the court session, counsel to the former governor, Ukpon Akpan, faulted the repeated adjournment of the bail hearing, describing it as “politically motivated.”
