Kaduna High Court Grants Bail to Former El-Rufai Chief of Staff, Bashir Saidu; Federal Court Adjourns Related Proceedings



Kaduna, June 15, 2026 — The Kaduna State High Court has granted bail to Mallam Bashir Saidu, former Chief of Staff to former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, in an ongoing legal matter that has attracted significant public attention.

According to proceedings at the court, Saidu was granted bail under strict conditions. The court ordered that he must provide two sureties, each bonded in the sum of ₦200 million. Additionally, the sureties are required to have their residency status verified and attested to by their respective District Heads.

The bail ruling marks a significant development in the case, paving the way for Saidu's release upon fulfillment of the conditions set by the court.

Meanwhile, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai appeared before the Federal High Court in connection with related legal proceedings. Following deliberations, the court adjourned the matter until June 24, 2026, when hearing is expected to resume.

The adjournment provides both parties additional time to prepare for the next stage of the proceedings as legal observers continue to monitor developments in the case.

The matters involving both Saidu and El-Rufai have generated considerable interest among political stakeholders and members of the public, with many awaiting further judicial pronouncements.
More details are expected to emerge as the courts reconvene later this month.
