Breaking: El-Rufai Granted Bail, Rearrested by ICPC Officials

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has been rearrested by operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) shortly after being granted bail.

Sources familiar with the development said El-Rufai had secured bail following earlier questioning by authorities. However, moments after his release, ICPC officials reportedly took him back into custody over fresh allegations linked to ongoing investigations.

Details surrounding the new grounds for his rearrest were not immediately disclosed, and the commission has yet to release an official statement clarifying the circumstances.

The development adds a new twist to the legal challenges facing the former governor, as observers await further updates from the anti-corruption agency.
