The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has been arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja over his alleged involvement in the bugging of the telephone line of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.
El-Rufai pleaded not guilty when a five-count amended charge, marked:FHC/ABJ/99/2026 was read to him on Thursday morning before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik.
Proceedings however, got stalled midway into the hearing of the defendant's bail application when the judge noted that a document referred to by the defence lawyer, Oluwole Iyamu (SAN), was not in the court's file.
