The Abuja Federal High Court has adjourned the wiretapping case against former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, until October 26, 2026. The hearing took place in the presence of Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, who listened to arguments from both the defense and the Department of State Services (DSS). The defense filed a no-case submission, arguing that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against El-Rufai.
The prosecution, represented by counsel Oluwole Aladedoye, insisted that the defense had not adequately addressed crucial evidence. During the proceedings, the court viewed a televised interview where El-Rufai allegedly admitted to listening to conversations involving National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. El-Rufai, who has pleaded not guilty, faces an amended five-count charge over the alleged interception of Ribadu's telephone communications and breach of national security.
