ICPC opposes El-Rufai’s aide bail, court adjourns to Friday

The ICPC has opposed a bail application for Jimi Lawal, an aide to former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, regarding an alleged financial misconduct case in Kaduna, according to Punch.

In a separate proceeding involving the ICPC, the Federal High Court in Kaduna has adjourned the case of Nasir El-Rufai to December 8, 2026. Daily Post Nigeria reports that the adjournment followed the assignment of a new prosecuting lawyer who requested time to study the matter. The case, which is before Justice Hauwa Buhari, involves allegations of financial misconduct during El-Rufai's tenure as governor from 2015 to 2023. El-Rufai has denied any wrongdoing in connection with the allegations.
