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.

S. A: 72-YEAR-OLD LANDLORD SHOT AND KILLED HIS TENANT ON SUNDAY. (PHOTO).


 Hartbeespoortdam police and Brits Crime Intelligence acted swiftly to arrest a 72-year-old landlord following an incident wherein he allegedly shot and killed his tenant on Sunday, 22 September 2024, at a plot outside Hartbeespoortdam near Brits.


According to the reports, the 66-year-old tenant approached his landlord when he discovered that there was no electricity and water at his place. Following an argument that ensued between the two, the landlord went inside his house and came back with a firearm and allegedly shot the victim on his upper-body.


The suspect fled from the scene while the victim was transported to the hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. The suspect was arrested during an intelligence driven operation conducted around the Skeerport area.   The police also recovered a firearm, which will be subjected to ballistic tests. 


The suspect is expected to appear in the Brits Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 25 September 2024, for murder.  


Meanwhile, the Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, congratulated the team members for their concerted effort to ensure the arrest of the suspect.
