'The world is watching' — IG Wala cautions judiciary over El-Rufai's 'impossible' bail conditions

Activist Ibrahim Garba Wala criticized the bail conditions imposed on former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai as 'impossible'. He called on the judiciary to review them, arguing that bail has become a tool for punitive pretrial detention. Wala highlighted the requirement for multiple sureties who must be federal civil servants at grade level 17 and original land titles in upscale areas. He also noted that El-Rufai's physical wellbeing is at risk due to prolonged detention under these conditions.
