Nigeria: El-Rufai Spends Second Night in EFCC's Custody
- Since Monday, former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai has spent a second night in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission headquarters in Abuja.
- Returning from Cairo, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, last Thursday, security operatives attempted to arrest El-Rufai and reportedly confiscated his international passport.
- On Monday, the State Security Service filed cybercrime charges at the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged unlawful interception of the NSA's phone, involving Nasir El-Rufai's detention claims.
- After being granted bail at around 8 p.m., El-Rufai was immediately picked up by Department of State Services operatives at EFCC headquarters, where videos circulating online showed a brief confrontation with hundreds of supporters.
- The Kaduna State House of Assembly's 2024 demand and El-Rufai's move to the ADC, plus his vow to oppose President Bola Tinubu in 2027, raise broader political stakes, while the ICPC has summoned him, adding to EFCC and SSS probes.
