Former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, is to remain in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission pending the fulfillment of his bail conditions.
Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna, on Tuesday, granted El-Rufai bail in the corruption case instituted against him by the ICPC.
But the trial judge, Rilwanu Aikawa, who delivered the ruling, ordered the former governor to remain in custody until the conditions are met.
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress and close ally of the embattled former governor, Hayatudeen Lawal Makarfi, who addressed newsmen after the ruling, described the bail conditions as outrageous.
According to him, the “bail conditions are many, from landed properties to N200 million to someone who has a traditional title, and so many conditions, numbering almost ten or more”.
