Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Thursday resisted an attempt by security operatives to arrest him at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Naija News reports that the security operatives had approached El-Rufai at the airport lobby upon arrival from Cairo, Egypt.
However, the former Governor insisted on having a formal letter of invitation before he could comply and follow them anywhere.
“Listen, nobody, not even the president could tell me I have to do anything. If you want to invite me, give me a letter,” he said.

Naija News had earlier reported that the security operatives seized the international passport of the former Governor.
According to his media aide, Muyiwa Adekeye, in a post on his account, the security agents attempted to arrest El-Rufai, but the former Governor resisted them and demanded a formal invitation, after which they took his passport from an aide.
The statement from Adekeye reads: “Security agents today attempted to arrest Malam Nasir elrufai as he arrived on a flight from Cairo. Malam El-Rufai declined to follow them without a formal Invitation. They, however, snatched his passport from an aide.” See more
