Federal High Court Grants ₦200m Bail to El-Rufai in DSS Surveillance Case

A Federal High Court in Kaduna has approved bail for former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on a ₦200 million bond. He must produce two reliable sureties, surrender his international passport and report monthly to investigators while his case proceeds. The charges relate to alleged unlawful interception of communications linked to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. El-Rufai was rearrested by DSS agents shortly after securing administrative bail from the EFCC earlier this year. Meanwhile, a separate bail application in a connected case was adjourned to June 2026. Observers across Nigeria’s political sphere are closely watching the legal and political implications of these developments.
