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.

In a move that highlights the importance of forgiveness and second chances, the Imo State House of Assembly has pardoned and recalled four of its suspended members. The recalled members are:


- Henry Agbasonu, representing Ezinihittee Mbaise state constituency

- Chidiebube Ogbunikpa, representing Okigwe

- Dominic Ezerioha, representing Oru-West

- Sam Otuibe, representing Ahiazu Mbaise state constituency


The recall follows a positive review of the report by the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges, led by Kanayo Onyemaechi. The committee's report revealed that the suspended lawmakers had shown remorse and pleaded for leniency and forgiveness during their appearance before the committee¹ ²[3).


After presenting the report, Speaker Chike Olemgbe put the matter to a vote, which was moved by Chisom Ojukwu and seconded by Clinton Amadi. The lawmakers commended the House leadership and the Committee on Ethics and Privileges for their leniency, and the suspension was lifted following a majority vote in favor of the committee's recommendation.
