In a separate legal matter, a Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a no-case submission filed by former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, regarding allegations of unlawful wiretapping involving the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik ruled that the prosecution had provided sufficient evidence for El-Rufai to enter his defense against the five-count amended charge brought by the Department of State Services. The court has adjourned the case until November 25, 2026, for El-Rufai to present his defense.

On the international front, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reported significant successes in its efforts to combat fraud. The agency announced that six of its most-wanted fraudsters have been apprehended across four continents, part of a broader crackdown that has led to the seizure of approximately $17 billion in fraudulent gains. FBI Director Kash Patel highlighted that these fugitives collectively spent over 4,000 days evading capture, with fraud cases linked to them accounting for more than $2 billion.
