Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has alleged that the federal government may be planning to arrest him.
He claimed four people he worked with in Kaduna have been arrested, saying “it’s only a matter of time before they come for me too”.
El-rufai said this during an interview with BBC Hausa on Wednesday.
El-Rufai, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has intensified criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the APC.
“Four people we worked with in Kaduna have been arrested; so it’s only a matter of time before they come for me too,” El-Rufai said.
Meanwhile, this is coming amid the arrest and ongoing trial of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, who is currently in custody.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has accused Malami of offences including abuse of office and money laundering.
Although, authorities later re-arrested him over alleged involvement in terrorism financing.
Malami, a prominent figure in opposition to President Tinubu, has denied all allegations, describing them as a political witch-hunt following his defection from the APC to the ADC.
