Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, has secured bail from a Federal High Court. This brings to an end a detention that lasted nearly two months, and Nigerians have been reacting.

The court subsequently granted bail with stringent conditions, including a N200 million bond with two sureties in like sum.

The sureties are to include a recognised traditional ruler and a federal civil servant not below Grade Level 15.

Other conditions include the submission of landed property documents, deposit of international passports with the court, and a restriction on public comments relating to the case, among others.
