APC chieftain advises El-Rufai to avail self to DSS


A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta, Chief Victor Ogba has advised the former governor of Kaduna state, Malam Nasir El-Rufai to present himself to DSS for interrogations

NAN reports that the former Kaduna state governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai recently alleged that DSS attempted to arrest him at the airport on arrival from Cairo.

Ogba said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja.

He urged the former Kaduna state governor to humble himself and a law-abiding citizen of Nigeria and present himself to the DSS.

“I don’t see anything wrong in El-Rufai making himself available to the police or DSS for interrogations if he is truly clean as he claims.

“He should stop dramatizing the whole scenario by raising false alarms over constitutional matters, arrest is constitutional and no one is above the law,” he said.

Ogba, who expressed confidence in the security expertise of the DSS, said that the seizure of El-Rufai’s passport may have followed internal watch-list procedures.

According to him, Section 2 of the DSS instrument regulation, which is in compliance with the NSA Act, gives the DSS the power to seize passports of persons on the watch list.

Ogba therefore urged El-Rufai to go and find out why his passport was seized and at the same time clear himself.

The APC chieftain who reiterated calls for constructive criticism, warned against deliberate mischievous acts to malign the government of the day.
