DSS Closes Case Against El-Rufai as Trial Continues on September 22, 2026 – Bail Adjustment Rejected
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja today rejected the defence’s application for adjustment of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s bail conditions in the alleged wiretapping trial.
The defence sought variation of the stringent bail terms, which require sureties to be Level 17 civil servants with properties in Maitama or Asokoro, plus attestation letters from the Kaduna State Traditional Council. The court ruled that qualified sureties are available and declined the adjustment.
Case Adjourned for Continuation
In the same proceedings, the Department of State Services (DSS) formally closed its case, with prosecuting counsel Oluwole Aladedoye confirming no further witnesses would be called.
Defence counsel Paul Erokoro announced plans to file a “no-case submission,” arguing that the prosecution failed to establish sufficient evidence against El-Rufai.
The court granted both sides two weeks to file their processes and adjourned the matter to September 22, 2026, for the hearing of the no-case submission and continuation of the trial.
