A witness for Department of State Services (DSS) in the trial of former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, on the alleged wiretapping of the telephone lines of National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has admitted that El-Rufai confirmed the wiretapping remarks during a television interview.
The witness said El-Rufai had appeared for an interview programme on Arise Television on February 16, the same day the former governor made the confession on the same television.
Deji Adeyanju, who testified as the second Prosecution Witness (PW2) on Monday, told Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of a Federal High Court that the former governor admitted during the television interview that “we listened to the conversations of the NSA”.
