Onanuga Calls for Probe of El-Rufai Over Alleged Intercepted Call Involving NSA



Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has urged authorities to investigate former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai following his on-air remarks about intercepting a call involving Nigeria’s National Security Adviser.

In a post shared on his verified X account on Friday, Onanuga referenced El-Rufai’s televised comments and questioned the implications of such an admission, suggesting it raises serious security concerns.

“El-Rufai confesses to wire-tapping Nigeria’s NSA on TV. Does it mean that he and his collaborators have wire-tapping facilities?” Onanuga wrote, calling for official scrutiny of the claim.

The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has not publicly responded to the allegation as of the time of reporting.

The development has triggered debate among political observers and security experts, with some calling for a formal inquiry to verify the context and accuracy of the statement, while others caution against drawing conclusions before a full clarification is issued.
