Security Agents Attempt to Arrest El-Rufai at Airport Amid Political Tensions

Security agents made an attempt to arrest former Governor El-Rufai at an airport, with the former governor resisting the arrest and demanding a formal invitation before surrendering his passport. The incident occurred in the context of rising political tensions in Nigeria, with El-Rufai being a former chieftain of the APC (All Progressives Congress) and a vocal critic of President Bola Tinubu's administration.

El-Rufai had claimed that there were plots to arrest him, and the recent confrontation at the airport seems to be a manifestation of these tensions. The former governor has been under pressure to either defect from his party or remain within its fold.

The incident was captured on video and has sparked discussions about the political climate in the country.
