Nasir El-Rufai Alleges Plot Behind Airport Detention, Accuses Nuhu Ribadu
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has alleged that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, ordered that he be taken into custody upon his arrival in Nigeria.
In a statement addressing his recent airport incident, El-Rufai claimed that Ribadu “made the call and ordered that I must be in custody when I landed.”
He further alleged that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) used the Department of State Services (DSS) to carry out what he described as an abduction, claiming it was part of a broader pattern.
According to El-Rufai, “The ICPC procured the DSS to abduct me for them; this is their modus operandi; they are personal tools of Nuhu Ribadu.”
The former governor also claimed he was informed in advance of the alleged move, suggesting that communications were monitored.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from Ribadu, the ICPC, or the DSS regarding the allegations.
The development adds a new dimension to the ongoing tensions surrounding the former governor’s recent encounter with security operatives.
