Why Is El-Rufai Still In Detention Despite Being Granted Bail?
About this episode
After spending weeks in detention, former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai was reportedly granted bail. But just when many expected his release, another development emerged he reportedly remained in detention following what supporters described as a re-arrest linked to another investigation.
The situation has since triggered legal debates, political reactions and public questions across Nigeria. So, why would someone remain in custody after being granted bail? Is it legally justified, politically motivated, or part of a broader investigation?
Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine the controversy surrounding El-Rufai’s continued detention and what it reveals about Nigeria’s justice system.
