But addressing journalists yesterday, the Emir said that officials asked for an emir and a high-ranking government person to guarantee El-Rufai’s release.

He said: “For example, take a look at what’s going on with my brother, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai that he is currently in custody and the conditions for his release are very tough.

“They said that both an emir and a high-ranking government official need to sign his bail.”
