A court in Nigeria has granted bail to former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai in the sum of N100 million, while also ordering him to report monthly to the Department of State Services (DSS).

The ruling was delivered after legal proceedings involving the former governor, who is facing charges linked to allegations brought before the court. Details of the specific charges were not fully outlined in the brief announcement.

As part of the bail conditions, the court directed El-Rufai to provide a surety and comply with strict reporting requirements to the DSS, Nigeria’s domestic intelligence agency.

The court also stated that the monthly reporting condition is intended to ensure compliance with the legal process while the case continues.

El-Rufai, who served as governor of Kaduna State from 2015 to 2023, remains a prominent political figure in Nigeria and has been involved in national political discussions since leaving office.

Legal proceedings in the case are expected to continue as the court reviews further submissions from both the prosecution and defence teams.

No additional details were provided on the next hearing date at the time of the ruling.
