The Federal Government of Nigeria has filed criminal charges against former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, over the alleged unlawful interception of the phone communications of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
Court documents show that the case was instituted at the Federal High Court in Abuja, with the Federal Republic of Nigeria listed as the complainant and El-Rufai named as the sole defendant.
The charges reportedly stem from remarks made by the former governor during a live television appearance last Friday. According to the charge sheet obtained by Spear News Nigeria, the case is marked FHC/ABJ/CR/99/2026 and contains a three-count charge.
Further details on the arraignment date are expected from court officials
