After Calling Two Witnesses DSS Closes Wiretapping Case against El-Rufai

The Department of State Services (DSS) has concluded its case in the wiretapping allegations against former Kaduna State Governor Namadi Sambo El-Rufai after presenting two witnesses. The court has denied bail for El-Rufai, meaning he could remain in custody until at least September. This case underscores the DSS's commitment to addressing security concerns, but it also highlights the ongoing tension between state security agencies and former political leaders in Nigeria. The outcome could have implications for political relations and the legal precedents set by such high-profile cases.
