Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the 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.
The judge issued the order while ruling on a no-case submission filed by El-Rufai.
Justice Abdulmalik dismissed the submission, holding that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to warrant calling on the defendant to enter his defence.
Following the ruling, the court adjourned the case until November 25 for the defence.
