The Federal High Court in Abuja granted bail to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday.
The bail was raised up to the sum of N100 million with one surety of like amount.
Delivering the ruling, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik stated that the surety must reside in either the Maitama or Asokoro districts of Abuja and must deposit the original Certificate of Occupancy for a landed property at the court registry.
The court further directed that the surety must be a federal civil servant not below Grade Level 17 and provide evidence of salary payments for at least three months.
The documents are to be authenticated by a letter from the surety’s bank manager within the court’s jurisdiction.
Also, the judge directed the former Kaduna state governor to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters every last Friday of the month by 10 a.m. to sign an attendance register pending the determination of his case.
