 El-Rufai To Remain In ICPC Custody As Court Delays Bail Hearing Until June Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai will remain in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) until at least June 2026 after his bail hearing was postponed. Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court adjourned the hearing to the first week of June.  El-Rufai is currently facing an amended nine-count charge involving alleged fraud and abuse of office brought against him by the ICPC. The former governor had earlier appeared in court to seek bail, but the judge deferred ruling on the application.  Meanwhile, in a separate case, he was granted bail by Justice Rilwanu Aikawa of the Federal High Court in Kaduna, set at ₦200 million.  Despite this, the court directed that he remain in ICPC custody until all bail conditions are met.

KENTUCKY MOM AND DAUGHTER REFUSE $26M OFFER TO SELL THEIR FARMS TO MYSTERIOUS FORTUNE 100 COMPANY. (PHOTO).


 Kentucky mom and daughter refuse $26M offer to sell their farms to mysterious Fortune 100 company


A Kentucky mother and her daughter have turned down a massive $26 million offer 


from a developer representing a mysterious Fortune 100 company that aimed to build a large data center on their land.


Ida Huddleston, 82, said she has repeatedly refused the offer for her 71-acre property in Mason County, which was valued at $60,000 per acre, totaling $4.26 million. 


Her daughter, Delsia Bare, also rejected an offer of $48,000 per acre for her 463-acre farmland, a sum exceeding $22 million.


“I said I don’t want your money, I don’t need your money, but I do feel sorry for everybody around us,” Huddleston told LEX 18. 


The two women explained that their refusal stems from concerns about how the data center could affect the wider community. 


!They also noted that the secrecy surrounding the project, including the company’s refusal to reveal its identity, only strengthened their determination to keep every acre.


Bare said, “When they will not reveal who they are, that’s a major factor in what you’re going to do with the rest of your life if you’re stuck here or even if you leave.” 


Despite the economic potential of the project, they remain unconvinced that the promised jobs will materialize. 


“My guess is you won’t have over 50, and they won’t even be here at this building when it’s said and done,” Bare added.


Huddleston made her position clear: “I’m staying put.” Meanwhile, local officials report that if the project goes forward, it could generate around 400 full-time jobs and 1,500 construction jobs. 


But the Mason County Fiscal Court must still approve the plan. In recent weeks, other tech giants have sought rural sites for data centers, including Amazon’s acquisition of George Washington University’s Virginia Science and Technology Campus for a similar purpose.
