 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

EL-RUFAI RELEASED FROM ICPC CUSTODY FOLLOWING HIS MUM’S DEMISE. (PHOTO)


 El-Rufai released from ICPC custody following his mum’s demise


Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has been granted temporary bail from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).


The development is to enable him to attend the funeral rites of his mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, who passed away in Cairo, Egypt, on Friday, March 27.


His son, Bashir El-Rufai, disclosed in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle that his father had been released from detention.


‘’My beloved great legend of a father (@elrufai) is being released from his unlawful and illegal detention at the hands of one of the most corrupt agencies in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that is a lame excuse of a pathetic institution.


Thank you all for all the support. Our family shall never forget these times. We have overcome, as the El-Rufais.” he wrote


El-Rufai has been in ICPC custody since February 18 over allegations bordering on financial misconduct and other related matters.


He spent over a month with the commission before his arraignment earlier this week before the Kaduna division of the Federal High Court.


The former governor was arraigned alongside one Joel Adoga, on charges bordering on alleged conversion and possession of public property, as well as money laundering. He, however, pleaded not guilty to the single-count charge linked to deposits into domiciliary accounts and the handling of earnings. The court adjourned ruling on his bail application to March 31, 2026, while he remains in custody.
