Nasir El-Rufai, the former Kaduna State Governor, has arrived at the Federal High Court sitting in the state for the continuation of his ongoing trial over alleged financial misconduct.
The immediate past governor of Kaduna State was seen on the court premises under a heavy security escort.
The charges against him, highlighted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), include abuse of office, financial impropriety, and fraud during his tenure as governor.
He is also to answer allegations of wiretapping the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
The case was previously adjourned to 24 June 2026, after two co-defendants failed to appear in court.
Meanwhile, El-Rufai has denied the allegations, while the ICPC maintains it has evidence supporting the charges.
