El-Rufai was accompanied by Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and Senator Chris Ngige.
Amaechi said he was mandated by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to accompany the ex-minister.
Journalists who were waiting for the return of the two men a few metres from an SSS checkpoint were chased away by two operatives who asked them to leave “in your own interest.”
As at 10.25am when this report was filed, El-Rufai, Amaechi and Ngige were yet to come out of the SSS headquarters.
The SSS had invited El-Rufai last Thursday over a statement credited to him that there would be violence in the 2015 elections.
He however refused to honour the summons and the security agency stormed his two homes in Maitama on Friday in a bid to arrest him.
El-Rufai honours SSS summons
A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday visited the State Security Service headquarters around 9:20am, three days after evading arrest over his refusal to honour an invitation. He was accompanied by Gov Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State who said he was mandated by the APC to do so.
As at 10.45am when this report was filed, the two men were yet to come out of the SSS office. Journalists who were waiting for the return of Amaechi and El-Rufai were asked to leave by SSS operatives manning a checkpoint nearby.
Details later.
