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.

 President Tinubu chairs Federal Executive Council Meeting


President Bola Tinubu is presently chairing the Federal Executive Council meeting. The President arrived at the Council Chamber of the State House Abuja for the meeting at about 1:20 PM.


Members of the FEC consist of ministers and some presidential aides among others. Vice President Kashim Shettima is not present at the meeting as he is away for an official assignment in Dubai. He is also expected to proceed to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj.


With exactly two weeks to the end of 2024, it is not certain if this will be the last meeting of the FEC in the year. 


However, President Tinubu is expected to lay the 2025 Appropriation Bill before the National Assembly on Tuesday, a day after FEC.
