The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed October 26, 2026, to rule on the no-case submission filed by former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in his ongoing trial over alleged unlawful interception of telephone communication.
At Tuesday’s resumed hearing, El-Rufai’s counsel, Ekere, adopted the no-case submission and urged the court to discharge the former governor, arguing that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against him.
However, prosecuting counsel, Oluwole Aladedoye, SAN, urged the court to dismiss the submission and order El-Rufai to enter his defence, arguing that the defence had failed to address an exhibit he described as the defendant’s confession.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik subsequently adjourned the matter to October 26 for ruling.
