On Thursday, security personnel reportedly tried to detain former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja shortly after his arrival from Cairo, Egypt.
This information was shared by his Media Adviser, Muyiwa Adekeye, in a post on his verified X account shortly after the incident occurred.
Adekeye stated that the operatives approached El-Rufai as he was getting off his flight and expressed their intention to take him into custody.
However, the former governor allegedly refused to comply, asserting that he would not respond to their request without a formal invitation.
“Security agents today attempted to arrest Malam Nasir El-Rufai upon his arrival from Cairo. Malam El-Rufai declined to accompany them without a formal invitation,” the statement said.
Adekeye also claimed that during the incident, the operatives confiscated El-Rufai’s passport from one of his aides.
