Protests As El-Rufai Arrives For Questioning At EFCC Headquarters In Abuja

Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has arrived at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja for questioning.

Supporters of the former governor gathered at the commission’s office, while a separate group of protesters who opposed him was also present at the scene.

Tension rose outside the premises, and security operatives dispersed parts of the crowd with tear gas.

El-Rufai later proceeded into the EFCC facility, while the protesters continued to demonstrate outside the gate.

The EFCC is probing allegations that El-Rufai mismanaged public funds during his time in office as Kaduna governor.

This development comes days after a brief incident at Abuja Airport, where security personnel reportedly tried to detain him shortly after he arrived from Cairo, Egypt.

KanyiDaily recalls that Nasir El-Rufai claimed that the ICPC had directed the DSS to arrest him upon landing at the Abuja airport..
