The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday granted bail to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in the sum of N100 million.

Delivering the ruling, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik ordered that the former governor must provide one surety in like sum.

The court ruled that the surety must reside in either Maitama or Asokoro districts of Abuja and must deposit the original Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property with the court registry.

Justice Abdulmalik further directed that the surety must be a federal civil servant not below Grade Level 17 and must present evidence of salary payments covering at least three months.

The case was subsequently adjourned for further proceedings.
