Following his failure to honour the invitation extended to him by the State Security Service, the security agency stormed the Abuja home of the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, today in a bid to arrest him.

Bello El-Rufai, the former minister’s son announced the visit of the SSS officers on twitter via his twitter handle @B_ELRUFAI.

He tweeted “The SSS just came to our house to “arrest” Mallam.”

His second tweet read, “They threatened to force their way through the gate when they came back. You don’t need to force your way if you have an arrest warrant.”

Operatives of the SSS had stormed the Maitama, Abuja residence of el-Rufai to arrest him for making what the SSS described as provocative statement on the 2015 elections.

The armed security personnel, who came in a Hilux Toyota vehicle, were unable to apprehend their target as El-Rufai’s security men prevented them from entering the compound.
