Operatives of the State Security Service on Friday stormed the Maitama,Abuja residence of a former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
The operatives arrested the former minister's guards when their bid to arrest him for making inflammatory statements on 2015 elections failed.
The operatives visited the Mambialla Street mansion twice in a Toyota Hilux vehicle around 12 pm, but were denied entry by the security guards at the gate.
Unable to apprehend their target, the security personnel headed to the residence of one of his wives at 50, Madeira Street off Yedsteram Street, after farmers' market, Maitama, and arrested three security guards around 7pm.
The service had on Thursday summoned the stalwart of the All Progressives Congress to appear at its headquarters on Friday for saying there would be violence in the 2015 elections and that 'the only way to take power is by force.'
El-Rufai did not however honour the invitation, saying the agency should rather produce a warrant of arrest or meet him at his office.
