YOU BE THE JUDGE! A Judge of the High Court of Kaduna State has repeatedly and vehemently refused to grant bail to Malam Nasir Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai CON. The judge presiding over one of the cases filed by the ICPC against Mallam El-Rufai has so far rejected every bail application made even though the charges against Mallam El-Rufai before the court are bailable. In denial bail, he has verbatim sided with the ICPC's position - essentially agreeing that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is a flight risk - which is absolutely preposterous - especially in view of the fact that Mallam El-Rufai voluntarily returned to the country to honor the invitation by the anti-graft agencies. It gets more curious when one considers the fact that Mallam El-Rufai has at least two other cases - one at the Federal High Court Kaduna brought by the same ICPC and another one by the DSS at Federal High Court Abuja. In both of the above cases (including the one by the ICPC of a similar nature in FHC Kaduna), Mallam El-Rufai had been granted bail. Never mind the impossible bail conditions. That's a totally different conversation. It is more than curious that the presiding Judges in both cases (including the one by the ICPC of a similar nature in FHC Kaduna) did not consider Mallam El-Rufai a flight risk. It is the Judge in the state high court Kaduna that adjuges that Mallam El-Rufai is a flight risk and who has repeatedly denied him bail, again for clearly bailable offences. You be the judge, here. Meanwhile, aside from refusing bail, the bail rulings by the Judge in question have been characterised by the use of words that essentially amount to convicting Mallam before the trial even commences. It is for this reason that Mallam’s lawyers filed an application for the judge to recuse himself from trying the case - and rightly so - because there is zero confidence of Mallam getting a fair trial under him. We continue to demand that proper due process should be followed. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty, including Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Bail, where applicable - as it clearly is in the case of Mallam El-Rufai - is a right. Denying him bail on untenable grounds amounts to imprisonment without conviction, abuse of his fundamental rights and injustice.
