DSS files charges against El-Rufai over alleged tapping of Ribadu’s phone

The Department of State Services (DSS) has filed a three-count charge against the former governor of Kaduna, Nasir el-Rufai, for allegedly intercepting the telephone conversation of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.

The charge was filed by the DSS counsel on Monday at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The secret police says the alleged offence contravened the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention) Amendment Act, 2024 and the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003.

The charges came barely three days after Mr El-Rufai said during a live interview on Arise TV that the NSA’s phone conversation was intercepted, and that he heard the NSA directing security operatives to detain him.
