The Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday arraigned former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai over allegations of unlawfully accessing the telephone conversation of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
According to the MEDIA, El-Rufai is being prosecuted before the Federal High Court in Abuja on an amended five-count charge.
The prosecution informed the court at the start of proceedings that the original three-count charge had been expanded to five counts.
Consequently, the presiding judge, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, struck out the earlier charge.
El-Rufai pleaded not guilty to the amended five-count charge.
THE MEDIA recalls that the former FCT Minister, during a February interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, alleged that “someone wiretapped” Ribadu’s phone, enabling him to hear the NSA instruct security operatives to arrest him.
