El-Rufai May Spend Night In SSS Detention


There was no indication this evening that the former Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nasir El-Rufai, who voluntarily turned himself in at the headquarters of the State Security Service (SSS) in Abuja this morning, would be released to go home.

The SSS had declared El Rufai, the Interim Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) wanted over a comment attributed to him that the 2015 election could turn violent if rigged and many people left dead.

As of 7.20pm Nigerian time on Monday, the former Minister was still being detained by operatives of the SSS.

Journalists who were anxiously keeping vigil for the outcome of the interrogation left for home in disappointment.

There are indications that the service may file charges against El Rufai, but as of the time of this report there was no official statement in respect of the detention.
