BREAKING: “They Can Kill Tinubu Anytime!” — El-Rufai’s Phone Tapping Confession Exposes Presidential Security Nightmare

February 13, 2026 3 min read

By The Yoruba Times

A bombshell confession has just blown the lid off Nigeria’s national security. Former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai has openly admitted to illegally tapping the phone of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the implications are sending shockwaves through the corridors of power.

“Yes, we tapped the phone of NSA Nuhu Ribadu. I know it’s illegal but we did it anyway.”

Those words, spoken without remorse, have set off every alarm bell in the country. If El-Rufai could tap the NSA’s phone, then nothing is sacred. If the NSA’s communications are compromised, then the President’s security is a house of cards waiting to collapse.

Just two months ago, security forces stopped a coup plot against President Tinubu. Two months! And now we learn that the NSA, the man responsible for coordinating the entire security apparatus, may have been under surveillance by hostile actors.

If the NSA’s lines were tapped, then whoever did it heard everything. They heard troop movements. They heard security briefings. They heard the President’s schedules. They heard the vulnerabilities.

Here is the truth no one in power wants to say out loud: If the NSA is compromised, the President can be taken out at any moment.

This is not fearmongering. This is basic security logic. When the man guarding the gates is blindfolded, the enemy walks right in.

El-Rufai must be arrested. Now. Today. Not next week. Not after consultations. Now. He has confessed to a felony. He has admitted to compromising the nation’s top security official. And he has done so with the arrogance of someone who believes he is above the law.

If El-Rufai walks free after this confession, then the message is clear: anyone can target the NSA, compromise presidential security, and face zero consequences. That is not a democracy. That is an invitation to anarchy.

If anything happens to President Tinubu or Vice President Shettima in the coming days, there will be blood on the hands of every official who knew about this confession and did nothing.

The names must be produced. The conspirators must be exposed. And the nation must know: is our President safe, or is he sitting in Aso Rock with a target on his back while those sworn to protect him play politics with his life?

The clock is ticking. And Nigeria cannot afford to find out the answer too late.
