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.

MADEIRA: MAN ARRESTED AFTER PARTNER DIES IN HOSPITAL


A 51-year-old woman died in a Mthatha private hospital on Friday, 06 June 2025 from injuries sustained during a gender-based violence incident. The assault occurred at an automotive dealership in Mthatha on Saturday, 31 May 2025, involving her 57-year-old male partner.


It is alleged that the deceased from East London visited her boyfriend who is an employee at the dealership on 31 May 2025 and due to their quarrel, the suspect physically assaulted the victim at his workplace and took her to hospital on Sunday, 01 June 2025 where she was admitted. The suspect claimed that his lover was assaulted by unknown thugs near the dealership.


Police information further confirms that on Friday, 06 June 2025, the suspect visited the victim in the hospital, bringing her refreshments.

Based on preliminary investigations utilizing available electronic evidence, the 57-year-old male suspect was arrested on Friday, 06 June 2025, at approximately 19:00.


The post-mortem/autopsy results will determine the exact cause of the victim's death.
