Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, says he believes security agencies may soon arrest him following his recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

According to him, the development suggests he could be the next target.

“They have arrested at least four people who worked with me in Kaduna, so it is only a matter of time before they arrest me too. I know they will come for me,” he said.

The former governor did not provide details of the identities of those allegedly detained or the specific offences for which they were arrested.
