Both the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and the Federal Government are separately investigating the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain for allegedly tapping the phone line of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu.
The DSS has slammed a three-count charge on el-Rufai and would arraign him in a court after the conclusion of investigation.
