In a separate proceeding before Justice Hauwa Buhari, the Federal High Court in Kaduna adjourned the hearing of Nasir El-Rufai's case to December 8, 2026, Daily Post Nigeria reports. The adjournment was requested after a new prosecuting lawyer was assigned to the matter and requested time to study the case.
The legal proceedings involve allegations of financial misconduct during El-Rufai's tenure as governor from 2015 to 2023. El-Rufai has denied any wrongdoing regarding the allegations being investigated by the ICPC, Daily Post Nigeria reports.
