El-Rufai, Amaechi visit SSS office

After evading arrest for three days, a former FCT minister, Nasir El-Rufai on Monday visited the State Security Service Headquarters, Maitama, Abuja around 9.20am.
El-Rufai was accompanied by Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and Senator Chris Ngige.
Amaechi said  he was mandated by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to accompany the ex-minister.
Journalists who were waiting for the return of the two men a few metres from an SSS checkpoint  were chased away by two operatives who asked them to leave “in your own interest.”
As at 10.25am when this report was filed, El-Rufai, Amaechi and Ngige were yet to come out of the SSS headquarters.
The SSS had invited El-Rufai last Thursday over a statement credited to him that there would be violence in the 2015 elections.
He however refused to honour the summons and the security agency stormed his two homes in Maitama on Friday in a bid to arrest him.
