Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has expressed concern over what he described as plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government to arrest him.
El-Rufai, a key figure in the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the allegation during an interview with BBC Hausa on Wednesday, February 11.
The former governor, who has recently intensified his criticism of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the APC—under which he governed Kaduna State for eight years—said that although he has not yet been arrested, several of his close associates have already been detained.
“Four people we worked with in Kaduna have been arrested; so it is only a matter of time before they come for me as well,” El-Rufai said.
His comments come amid the arrest and ongoing trial of Nigeria’s former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, who remains in custody.
