Proceedings surrounding the legal case involving former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, have been adjourned by two separate courts in Kaduna, marking a fresh delay in the high-profile matter as judicial processes continue to unfold.
A Kaduna State High Court has adjourned the arraignment of El-Rufai to April 10, extending the timeline before formal charges are heard. In a parallel development, the Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna has also postponed a ruling on his bail application, shifting the hearing to Wednesday.
The dual adjournments mean that key decisions in the case will not proceed as initially expected, as both courts opted to reschedule their sittings within the space of ongoing legal considerations. The reason for the adjournments was not immediately detailed at the time of reporting.
The developments have drawn attention given El-Rufai’s profile as a former governor and a prominent political figure, with the case now set to continue in the coming days as the judiciary moves toward the next phase of proceedings.
Further updates are expected as the courts reconvene and address both the arraignment and the bail application in the unfolding matter.
