Bail Application: Court of Appeal rules against El-Rufai

The Court of Appeal has dismissed a bail application filed by former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai. According to Premium Times, the appeal was against a decision by the Kaduna State High Court to deny him bail. El-Rufai is facing a legal battle with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission over alleged financial offences arising from his administration.

The Court of Appeal's decision was reported by Punch Nigeria, which also mentioned that El-Rufai's legal battle is ongoing. No further details were provided about the case or the reasons for the court's decision.

There was no additional information about El-Rufai's case in the other reports. One report from The Rio Times discussed a separate case in Colombia, where the Supreme Court granted bail to two former heads of Congress due to delays in their bribery trial.
