Following his failure to honour the invitation extended to him by the State Security Service, the security agency stormed the Abuja home of the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, on Friday in a bid to arrest him.
Bello El-Rufai, the former minister’s son announced the visit of the SSS officers on twitter via his twitter handle @B_ELRUFAI.
He tweeted “The SSS just came to our house to “arrest” Mallam.”
His second tweet read, “They threatened to force their way through the gate when they came back. You don’t need to force your way if you have an arrest warrant.”
Operatives of the SSS had stormed the Maitama, Abuja residence of el-Rufai to arrest him for making what the SSS described as provocative statement on the 2015 elections.
The armed security personnel, who came in a Hilux Toyota vehicle, were unable to apprehend their target as El-Rufai’s security men prevented them from entering the compound.
Our correspondent, who visited the Manbilla Street mansion of the former minister, gathered that the guards locked the gate and refused to allow the SSS operatives to access the residence to arrest their boss.
The security operatives, who were frustrated by the guard’s action, threatened to arrest them.
The service had on Thursday summoned the stalwart of the All Progressives Congress to appear at its headquarters today for saying there would be violence in the 2015 elections and that “the only way to take power is by force.”
