Sss Arrests El-rufai Again, On Return From London Alongside Buhari.

State Security Services (SSS) yesterday picked up former Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The SSS said el-Rufai had accused the security forces of receiving N286 billion for their operations but had nothing to show for it, which was why insecurity in the country continued to persist.

Spokesperson for the SSS, Marilyn Ogar, in a telephone chat with Sunday Sun said the SSS would want el-Rufai to clarify his allegation on the said money because what the security forces got through the National Security Adviser (NSA) was just over N100 billion.

Mrs. Ogar further said the former minister by his allegations published in one of the national dailies on Friday bridged the Freedom of Information Bill (FoI) by not cross-checking his facts before going to the press.

“The SSS only wants to verify from the former Minister of FCT his allegations that the security forces through the NSA received a whopping sum of N286 billion without showing anything for it. By his allegation, he has bridged the FoI law by not cross-checking his facts,” Ogar stated.

Sunday Sun also gathered that the former minister would be arraigned in court tomorrow.
El-Rufai, who was returning to the country from London alongside General Muhammudu Buhari, was led away by the SSS in the early hours of Saturday. The former FCT Minister is currently cooling his heels in an underground cell.

Useless SSS, so he missed their budget by a couple of billions he is arrested, I am waiting for the judge that will sentence him for something as puny as that, meanwhile, who are the bombers and when will they be arrested.

Sun Newspaper found it difficult to distinguish between 'breach' and 'bridge'? Also, the usage was more than once.

Anyway, SSS needs to prove (in court) that this is neither a flimsy case nor a distraction as the security challenge on their plate right now is gargantuan.

Pukkah:

. All these editors sef. Another one i noticed last week was the continued use of 'Wreck havoc' in place of 'Wreak havoc'.

Indeed. I don't know how this Government , unless entirely clueless, can continue to display an ill-timed penchant for taking decisions that appear totally indefensible in the face of current challenges. Examples are:

Increased pay for the NSA while Nigerians are dying from terrorist attacks.
tenure elongation , as priority number one, in the face of serious socio-economic challenges.
Detention of El-Rufai for what amounts to 'misrepresentation' , when a public rebuttal would have sufficed, at a time the SSS should have other far more pressing challenges.

Na wa OOOOO.

#100billion or #286billion,the issue is that thus far they have no result to show for collecting such hefty allocation.They are making a laughing stock out of themselves by persecuting el-rufai,afterall the man is right,insecurity is the order of the day today in Nigeria.

Can't this government leave the opposition alone and go after Boko Haram and the other mass murderers and thieves crawling around the country?

Clueless people, so is this what they should be chasing right now?

Is dis d matter on ground now? Instead of looking for UN bombers.

It seems to me that the Sun Newspaper mistakenly recycled the old story on its website - this happens quite frequently on news websites.

El-Rufai certainly didn't write that articel on Friday - he already published it a couple of months or so ago, and he was certainly not returning from London with Buhari - exactly as the incident a month or so ago.

Pay attention people 

remixing news is what our government does

this story of the chinese manuals in the power station has been floating around for at least 6 months , it has even been discussed on nl at some point

in the same way, the intercepted munitions the SSS made so much noiuse about at the port had been intercepted at least two months before. that was also dicussed in a follow up story some months later

it seems our government is into the business of manufacturing news

yeah, i know, offtopic

186 000 000 000 prolly entered voice mail.
eveyone seems to be competing with big figures when it comes to stealing in Naija.

when are they going for OBJ and others. God save Nigeria

nothing but distraction. **Hisses and walks away**

y are they leting us to know about that? sss arested el_rufai again there fomer arest what did they don to him,
we fools are still keep our ears open to sweet stories without effects.
how many of the have send to life jail or firering suqurd. that is only for inocent people on the street.
now who fool who.

El Rufai just tweeted that he was not arrested
Guys the news is false

The mallam is right,ok what did they do with 100b,no result,boko hallam is incharge in the north,armrobber in east,militant in ss,the ss shd face the facts they there for salaries,bomb blast in abuja and the suspect arrested is el-rufai.what a shame

El-Rufai should stop all these nonsense,he used to be one of them

I did sense the news can not be entirely correct. How could it be that it is anytime that el-rufai is coming from london with buari that he would be picked up?

useless pple . boko haraaaam has gone haywire and they dont have solution. rather they r chasing oppositions. mothr f

Rufai ti daran.

Dis na big lie. I follow @El Rufai on tweeter and hes been tweeting all day, he has since tweeted that this is a farce, Dis Ogar woman sabi lie well well.

What a country. SSS and CO no see IBB and OBJ and Ibori, when he was in town to arrest?

That statement was in circulation BEFORE the FOI bill was signed into law now . . . or do I have my dates on this crossed? I remember reading his claim in the dailies, and wondering if the man had already/speed speed had time to cross check in like two minutes of signing of the FOI. 

what happens after he has shared part of the 286b with the SSS and the BPE panel? case will close abi?

An old news reproduced to deceive the general public. Shame on SSS.
