The Federal High Court in Abuja has set October 26, 2026, to rule on former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai's no-case submission in his ongoing trial over alleged unlawful interception of a telephone communication. The ruling came after both the prosecution and defence presented their positions on the no-case submission during a recent hearing.
Prosecutors argue that the defence did not address Exhibit B, which they claim is the defendant's confession. The trial judge, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, denied the defence's request to stand down and urged the defence to move forward with their case. The prosecution alleges that El-Rufai admitted to unlawfully intercepting National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu's telephone communications and failed to report the interception to security agencies. The charges stem from comments El-Rufai made during an Arise Television interview in February 2026.
