Security operatives on Thursday presented former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, before the Federal High Court to answer allegations involving unlawful interception of communications.
The Department of State Services filed a three-count charge against him, marking the formal start of legal proceedings in the case.
According to information available at the court, the allegations relate to comments credited to the former governor during a televised programme, which authorities say raised legal concerns.
Proceedings commenced with the reading of charges, while the prosecution signalled its readiness to pursue the matter.
Defence counsel is expected to outline El-Rufai’s position, including his plea and possible applications before the court.
The case has already attracted attention within political and legal circles, given the stature of the defendant and the nature of the allegations.
Further updates are expected as the court continues hearing the matter and determines the next course of action.
