Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has arrived at the Federal High Court in Kaduna for the continuation of proceedings in his ongoing corruption trial.
Naijaonpoint reports that El-Rufai arrived at the court premises around 9:30 a.m., accompanied by officials of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force.
The case, brought by the ICPC, involves allegations of abuse of office, fraud, and financial misconduct during his tenure as governor.
Prosecutors allege that funds were improperly released for projects that were either not executed or were irregularly managed.
El-Rufai has denied all the charges and maintains his innocence.
At today’s sitting, the court is expected to continue hearing motions and arguments from both the prosecution and defence as the case progresses.
