El-Rufai’s aide alleges security agents tried to arrest him at Abuja airport, but he refused without a formal invitation.
Security agents on Thursday allegedly attempted to arrest former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, according to his aide Muyiwa Adekeye. “Security agents today attempted to arrest Malam Nasir El-Rufai as he arrived on a flight from Cairo,” the statement read.
Adekeye said El-Rufai “declined to follow them without a formal invitation,” alleging agents “snatched his passport from an aide.” The incident follows El-Rufai’s claim that associates had been arrested and that “it’s only a matter of time before they come for me too,” amid rising political tensions.
