The State Security Service (SSS) on Wednesday night arrested former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai as soon as he was released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mr El-Rufai has been detained by the EFCC over corruption allegations since Monday.
He was granted bail at about 8 pm on Wednesday but was immediately picked up by operatives of the SSS who laid an ambush for him at the premises of the EFCC headquarters, witnesses said.
The politician’s arrest by the SSS is linked to allegations that he unlawfully intercepted the phone communications of Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.
On Monday, the SSS charged him with cybercrimes before the Federal High Court in Abuja over the phone-tapping allegation.
