Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, arrived at a court in Kaduna under heavy security presence as proceedings in his case continued.
Security operatives were seen stationed around the court premises, restricting movement and maintaining tight control of the environment during his appearance.
Reports indicate that journalists were barred from accessing the courtroom, raising concerns about transparency and media access to the proceedings.
The development comes amid ongoing legal battles involving the former governor, who is facing allegations linked to cybercrime and national security breaches.
Earlier, the Department of State Services had filed charges against El-Rufai, accusing him of unlawfully intercepting the telephone communications of the National Security Adviser, an offence said to contravene provisions of Nigeria’s cybercrime laws.
His court appearance has attracted public attention, with heightened security reflecting the sensitivity of the case and the prominence of the defendant.
Observers say restricting media access to such high-profile proceedings may spark debates about openness in the judicial process, especially in politically significant cases.
The case is expected to continue as the court hears arguments from both the prosecution and defence in the coming sessions.
