ALLEGED WIRETAPPING: COURT REJECTS EL-RUFAI’S NO-CASE SUBMISSION, ORDERS HIM TO ENTER DEFENCE A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to enter his defence, if he so desires, in his ongoing trial over the alleged unlawful interception of the telephone communications of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik gave the order on Monday while ruling on El-Rufai’s no-case submission. The judge dismissed the application, holding that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to warrant calling on the defendant to enter his defence. The court adjourned the case until November 25 for the defence.

Fire razes radio station in Osun, one injured

A member of staff of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Gold FM, Ilesa, Osun State, whose name could not be immediately ascertained, has been hospitalised after sustaining an injury in a fire that razed part of the station on Sunday.

It was not immediately clear what caused the incident, but sources said loud noise coming from the transmission hall of the station, preceded the inferno which reportedly destroyed equipment.

The injured staff, who was said to be among workers that passed the night on the premises, it was learnt, sustained burns and was rushed to a private hospital in Ilesha for treatment.

A source close to the station, who preferred anonymity, during an interview with The PUNCH, said residents responding to distress calls by the staff were joined by staff to put off the fire.
