Alleged Phone Tapping: Court to Rule in El-Rufai’s No-case Submission Oct 26
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday fixed October 26 for ruling in a no-case submission filed by former Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State in the alleged phone-tapping
The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled October 26 to deliver its ruling on a no-case submission filed by ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai regarding alleged phone tapping by the Department of State Services (DSS). The alleged breach of national security stems from El-Rufai's admission on national television of wiretapping the phone lines of NSA Nuhu Ribadu.
El-Rufai's legal team, led by Akinyemi Aremu, argued that prosecution had not established a case requiring the former governor to submit a defence. However, DSS counsel Oluwole Aladedoye contended that the defense failed to address the prosecution's Exhibit 'B', which allegedly contained El-Rufai's admission of wiretapping Ribadu's phone.
The court adjourned the matter until October 26 for a ruling, with the DSS having called two witnesses to support their case.
