Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday reportedly attempted to arrest former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, upon his return to Nigeria.
According to accounts circulating on social media, EFCC officials approached the former governor shortly after his arrival at the airport.
El-Rufai was said to have declined to accompany the operatives, insisting that he would only honour a formal written invitation from the commission.
Eyewitnesses alleged that the encounter became tense, attracting the attention of airport officials and other travellers within the terminal.
Although the former governor reportedly refused to go with the operatives, EFCC officials were said to have seized his international passport before leaving the airport.
As of the time of filing this report, the EFCC has not issued an official statement on the incident. It also remains unclear whether El-Rufai is currently under investigation or facing any formal charges.
