A Kaduna State High Court dismisses a fresh bail application by former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai in an ICPC criminal case. Justice D. H. Khobo delivers the ruling on June 29, 2026, rejecting El-Rufai’s third request for bail. The application relies on a medical report tendered in support of claims about his health condition. According to the reports, the National Hospital, Abuja, disowns the medical report used to back the bail request. The court finds this dispute significant and refuses the application on that basis. Vanguard reports that El-Rufai’s claims relate to an alleged serious illness, described as advanced metastatic cancer, while the other outlet similarly emphasizes that the hospital rejects or disowns the submitted medical documentation. The court’s decision maintains the ongoing criminal proceedings initiated by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
