Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Sunday, alleged a fresh plot to implicate him in criminal activities, warning of what he described as coordinated efforts to damage his reputation and frustrate his release on bail.
The former governor is expected to appear before the Kaduna State High Court on Tuesday, April 21, for a ruling on his bail application.
The trial judge, Justice Darius Khobo, had fixed the date after hearing arguments from counsel.
But in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Muyiwa Adekeye, El-Rufai warned of “malicious orchestrations” allegedly aimed at ensuring his continued detention.
He recalled an incident on February 12, 2026, when he claimed there were plans to arrest him upon his arrival at the Abuja Airport from Cairo.
According to him, the episode marked the beginning of what he termed a troubling pattern.
The statement added that he honoured an invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on February 16.
