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.

 EFCC Arrests Chinese Brothers, Two Others for Alleged Illegal Dealing in Solid Minerals


Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,  have arrested two Chinese siblings:  Wang Jiang and Wang Richard for allegedly making efforts to export some solid minerals without requisite permit.


While Jiang was arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport ,Enugu, the rest,  including  two  Nigerians,  Donatus Agupusi and Michael Benneth Agu, were arrested at the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the EFCC. 


Their arrest followed an intelligence received by the Commission through the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN on November 3, 2024 involving Jiang who was intercepted at the hold baggage screening point, where unidentified suspicious stones believed to be solid minerals wrapped in three  different pieces were discovered in his luggage.


Preliminary investigations into the matter revealed that Agupusi, owner of Great Wall Construction Limited, is the employer of the remaining suspects. Investigation also revealed that Jiang was attempting to travel out of the country with the solid minerals in order to carry out some tests on them in China.


Investigations further revealed that none of the four suspects had a permit to export the solid minerals to China.


The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
