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.

 Slovakia's Robert Fico vowed he would not allow Ukraine to become a member of NATO as long as he was prime minister, in another blow to Kyiv's aspirations to join the alliance amid Russia's ongoing invasion.


"I will direct the lawmakers under my control as chairman of the (ruling Smer) party never to agree to Ukraine joining NATO," he told broadcaster STVR in an interview on Sunday (6 October).


"Ukraine's accession to NATO would be a good basis for a third world war," added Fico, who has been a vocal critic of the West's military and financial support to Ukraine since Russia launched its all-out invasion in early 2022.


These remarks came ahead of Fico’s Monday meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, which is set to focus on cooperation in energy security and infrastructure.
