The way this guy was hounded by the press and online “saints” is deplorable. Thoughts and prayers to Prof. Arday’s wife and kids at this difficult moment.
Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has been charged with cybercrime for alleging wiretapping the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Rubadu,
Looking at this charge, I have a few issues with it.
Firstly, there is no entity known to law as Department of State Services (DSS) as stated in this charge.
The National Security Agencies Act only recognizes and creates the State Security Service (SSS).
Secondly, the said Act does not vest the SSS with prosecutorial power.
Thirdly, does El-Rufai’s statement on Arise TV qualify as an “extrajudicial statement” under the law, same having not been made under caution? For a statement to be extrajudicial and confessional, it has to be under caution.
He didn’t say he wiretapped the NSA, he said someone else did and told him.
The constitutional right against self-incrimination will enure in his favour. No court can compel him to give evidence against himself.
I am not a fan of El-Rufai, but this charge appears problematic in law.
Time will tell.
Even attempts to get help from the Nigerian Embassy in DC or Atlanta go unanswered. How can visitors plan trips when theres no working system & no support channel? This is a barrier to tourism & business. @nigimmigration@MinOfInteriorNG@BTOofficial@officialABAT@NGRPresident
Two travelers, paid e-Visa fees, correct PDF uploads, flights already booked — but the Nigeria e-Visa portal won’t accept documents.
Either fix the system or provide a manual upload option.
@nigimmigration@MinOfInteriorNG@NigeriaGov@BTOofficial
We’ve emailed @nigimmigration several times about the e‑Visa PDF upload error. The response is always ‘re‑upload.’ We re‑upload, and the system returns it again. This is a website problem, not a user problem or PDF issue. @MinOfInteriorNG@NigeriaGov@BTOofficial
We’ve paid, we’ve uploaded everything exactly as required, and we have upcoming travel. What’s the solution — a real technical fix or a refund? This needs urgent action.
@nigimmigration@BTOofficial@NigeriaGov
The NIS cannot keep collecting visa fees when the e‑Visa platform won’t even accept PDF documents. When the system forces endless ‘re‑upload’ errors, that’s not a functioning service — it’s unacceptable.
@nigimmigration@BTOofficial@NigeriaGov
Nigeria needs a fully functional e‑Visa platform to support tourism and travel. Right now, the site rejects valid PDFs, yet payments are still being taken with no resolution. This hurts visitors and the country’s image. @nigimmigration@MinOfInteriorNG@BTOofficial
Major issue with the Nigeria e‑Visa portal: properly formatted PDFs keep getting rejected. Fees paid, instructions followed, yet the system won’t let us complete submission. Is there a technical fault? Can someone assist? @nigimmigration@MinOfInteriorNG”
@BTOofficial
We’ve emailed multiple times and are told the same thing. The website is not working. Not to be fixed.
Flights are already booked. Please fix this ASAP.

Two of my family members paid for Nigeria e-Visas ($360 total), uploaded all required documents as PDF (as instructed), but the @nigimmigration website keeps rejecting the uploads and asking us to re-upload. @MinOfInteriorNG@NigeriaGov@BTOofficial
