The ICPC said it still had Mr El-Rufai in its custody pursuant to a March 5, 2026, court order.
The judge adjourned until October 8 for the arraignment of the two lawyers.
Messrs Suswam and Oklobia were re-arraigned before Mr Lifu, where they pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to them.
The police charged the defendant with criminal assault and mischief.
The judge stood down the matter to deliver a ruling on the admissibility of the evidence sought to be tendered by the federal government.
The judge insisted that even if the arrest warrant had been illegally obtained, the defendant (Mr Bello) should have still appeared in court.
The judge said the judgement should serve as a deterrent to others fond of abusing and mutilating the naira.
