A court has dismissed objections raised by the legal team of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai regarding a forensic witness from the Department of State Services (DSS). El-Rufai’s counsel, Paul Erokoro, had protested that the defence had not been provided with a summary of the witness’s evidence or the required subpoena. Despite these objections, the court proceeded, allowing the DSS witness to testify. This ruling indicates the court intends to hear the DSS’s forensic evidence within the ongoing case involving El-Rufai. The specifics of the case and the nature of the witness’s testimony remain undisclosed, but the decision ensures the case will progress with the inclusion of the DSS’s contribution. The ruling was reported by Vanguard News and centers on legal proceedings in Kaduna State.
