As demonstrators and supporters of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai reportedly battled with security officers on Monday, tensions inside the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) headquarters in Abuja increased.
It was reported that the mob was dispersed using tear gas.
Our correspondent quoted a video in which voices from a variety of protestors were heard stating, “We will come back; when it clears, we will come back,” indicating the group’s will to return in spite of the disturbance.
In response to news of his attempted arrest at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport last Thursday, El-Rufai had earlier arrived at the EFCC headquarters accompanied by hundreds of his supporters.
