Tensions escalated at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, headquarters in Abuja on Monday as protesters and supporters of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, reportedly clashed with security forces.
Tear gas was reportedly deployed to disperse the crowd.
In a video cited by our reporter, voices of various protesters were heard saying; “We will come back; when it clears, we will come back,” signaling the group’s determination to return despite the disruption.
El-Rufai had earlier arrived at the EFCC premises with hundreds of his supporters, following reports of his attempted arrest at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport last Thursday.
