PHIPEX: I just heard on AIT that El-rufai has been restricted to his hotel in Awka. I don't know how lawful this is, at the same time could it be that he is not an accredited election observer?

Anambra Decides: SSS reportedly put El-Rufai under house arrest

November 16, 2013



A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Malam Nasir el-Rufai, was on Saturday in Awka prevented from moving out of his hotel room to monitor the Anambra Governorship Election currently ongoing.

el-Rufai told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the `Finotel Hotel’ where he lodged that some armed men of the State Security Service (SSS) restrained him from moving out of the hotel to monitor the election.

He said:“I arrived in Awka by 7 p.m. on Friday and had a brief session with the APC candidate, Sen. Chris Ngige. When I came out to have my dinner, I saw three heavily armed SSS officers at the hotel.


“I asked them why they were following me; they told me that they were protecting me because Awka is not safe.

“I told them that I came with my own security. This morning, as I was about to have breakfast, they blocked the corridor and tried to restrain me from going out but I pushed by and went to the restaurant to eat.

“After my breakfast, I will be going to the APC Situation Room in town to monitor the election. I am being unlawfully detained here,’’ he said.

NAN reports that at this point, one of the SSS men entered the restaurant and confiscated the reporter’s tape recorder and deleted the recorded interview before returning it to her.

When contacted on telephone, the Director of SSS in the state, Mr A.U. Okeiyi, confirmed the report, saying that el-Rufai was being protected.

“el-Rufai is not an ordinary person. If anything happens to him, they will blame the security,’’ he said.

NAN reports that heavily armed security men were seen guarding the premises of the hotel. (NAN)

El-Rufai in Anambra to rig governorship election —Peter Obi

By News Express on 16/11/2013



All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has been accused of being in Anambra State as part of efforts by his party to rig the on-going governorship election.

“I think they’re trying to rig the election,” said Governor Peter Obi while reacting to El-Rufai’s presence in the state.

He said he was not aware of El-Rufai’s restriction to his hotel room in Awka by security operatives but then added: “The restriction is for everybody, including myself. It’s not restricted to anybody.”

Even so, Obi took exception to El-Rufai’s presence in the state, saying: “This is an Anambra election . . . Let people not come here and give Anambra a bad name. If I have my way, I’d have him bundled out of this state.”

News Express had earlier today reported that El-Rufai had been restricted from leaving his hotel room in the Anambra State capital by men of Nigeria’s secret police who claimed to be acting in his best interest.

His party is involved in the election .. He has the right to be in Anambra to offer any support as long as it is not to manipulate or disrupt the process ..

If Obi has any evidence to confirm he is there to rig the election, let him present it and stop talking nonsense without evidence to the media!

It will continue to poison the mind of you and the idi..ot i quoted previously, and it will send the wrong message out to anyone connected or interested

It will be absolutely disgraceful if El-Rufai is there to rig and i am sure he won't get involved in such a mess
