The Court of Appeal in Kaduna has dismissed former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai's appeal against a fresh bail application rejection by the Kaduna State High Court. A three-member appellate panel unanimously agreed that El-Rufai failed to provide new facts or circumstances to overturn the lower court's decision on June 10, 2026, to deny him bail.
