Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai's no-case submission in wiretapping trial. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik ruled that prosecution presented sufficient evidence, ordering El-Rufai to enter defence. El-Rufai's counsel argued prosecution evidence insufficient, while prosecution countered with sufficient evidence.
Charges stem from alleged unlawful interception of NSA Nuhu Ribadu's telephone conversations, based on El-Rufai's February 2026 interview on Prime Time alleging interception.
