A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-rufai to enter his defence if he so desires in his ongoing trial over his alleged unlawful interception of the telephone communications of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik issued the order on Monday while ruling on a no-case submission made by El-rufai.
Justice Abdulmalik dismissed the no-case submission on the grounds that there is sufficient evidence furnished by the prosecution to warrant the court to call on the defendant to enter his defence if he so desires.
The judge however adjourned till November 25 for defence
