Nigeria, Sept. 21 -- The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday adjourned a N1 billion fundamental rights suit filed by former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, against the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and others until October 27 for definite hearing.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) are also respondents in the suit.

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik adjourned the matter to allow counsel to El-Rufai, Akinyemi Aremu, to respond to a counter-affidavit filed by the AGF opposing the former governor's claims.

When the case was called, Aremu informed the court that the matter was slated for hearing.
