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.

 Kaduna Police Summon El-Rufai, Seven ADC Leaders Over Alleged Criminal Conspiracy




Police in Kaduna State have issued a summons to former governor Nasir El‑Rufai and seven other key members of the African Democratic Congress ADC , prompting claims of constitutional overreach and a brewing political showdown


The police want all eight to answer to charges of criminal conspiracy, inciting public disturbance, mischief, and causing grievous hurt. They are to appear before the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) on Monday, September 8, 2025. The summons come amid heightened political tension in the state.


The letter, dated September 4, 2025, signed by DCP Uzainu Abdullahi, directs El‑Rufai and six named ADC leaders—including Bashir Sa’idu, Ja’afaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed, Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita, and Ahmed Rufa’i Hussaini, to appear at SCID on September 8, 2025 to 'clarify the allegations reported against them' by complainants 


On Thursday, police sealed the ADC Secretariat hours before the North‑West leadership's planned visit, supposedly to console victims of last Saturday’s violent disruption of an opposition coalition inauguration, attacks which were blamed on suspected thugs wielding cutlasses, clubs, and stones.


Meanwhile, Mallam El‑Rufai has fiercely denounced the summons as a violation of their constitutional rights. 


In a press briefing, he criticized the police for waving an unserved court order, calling it 'a dangerous descent into lawlessness,' and vowed to challenge the summons in court.


As the countdown to September 8 begins, all eyes will be on SCID and the state’s corridors of power. Will El‑Rufai and the ADC comply, or will they mount a legal battle?
