The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai to enter his
defence, if he so wishes, in his ongoing trial over the alleged unlawful interception of the telephone
communications of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik gave the order on Monday while ruling on the former governor’s no-case
submission.
The judge dismissed El-Rufai’s no-case submission, holding that the prosecution had presented sufficient
evidence to require him to respond to the allegations.
