Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, was returned to the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Tuesday, following court proceedings in two Kaduna courts
The development comes days after the former governor was temporarily released from custody.
El-Rufai had earlier left ICPC custody on March 27, 2026, following the death of his mother.
He was, however, re-arraigned on Tuesday as legal proceedings in the cases against him resumed.
The former governor first appeared before the Kaduna State High Court over a separate charge filed by the anti-graft agency.
Proceedings at the court were, however, stalled due to the absence of the second defendant in the matter.
Consequently, the case was adjourned until April 10, 2026.
Following the adjournment, El-Rufai was taken to the Federal High Court in Kaduna, where his application for bail was scheduled for hearing.
Earlier, the court had fixed March 31, 2026, for the hearing of the bail application.
After the court appearances, the former governor was returned to ICPC custody pending further proceedings in the cases.
