Nasir El-Rufai's Attempted Arrest in Abuja

Former Nigeria===Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, was allegedly subjected to an attempted arrest by security agents upon his arrival at Nigeria===Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, from Cairo, Egypt. His media adviser, Muyiwa Adekeye, reported that El-Rufai refused to comply without a formal invitation, and his passport was subsequently seized. This incident follows El-Rufai's recent defection from the ruling Nigeria===All Progressives Congress to the Nigeria===African Democratic Congress and his vocal criticism of the current administration. He has also claimed that several of his associates have been detained and that he expects to be targeted next. Legal experts and political commentators suggest this event raises serious constitutional questions and underscores broader political divisions within Nigeria. The Nigeria===Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Nigeria===Independent Corrupt Practices Commission are reportedly investigating corruption allegations against El-Rufai, which he denies, attributing them to political motivations.
