A Federal High Court in Kaduna has adjourned the continuation of proceedings involving former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to December 8, 2026.

The adjournment followed the assignment of a new prosecuting lawyer to the case, who requested more time to study the matter before the next hearing. El-Rufai subsequently left the court premises.

The former governor had earlier appeared in court for proceedings in a separate case involving the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.

The case is before Justice Hauwa Buhari.The latest court appearance comes amid ongoing investigations and legal proceedings concerning allegations of financial misconduct during El-Rufai’s tenure as governor from 2015 to 2023.

The former governor has denied wrongdoing in connection with the allegations.
