The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday claimed that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, ordered security agents to detain him in Anambra State in 2013.
Obi ruled Anambra State from July 2007 to March 14 when he handed over to Willie Obiano.
El-Rufai, who stated this interactive session for presidential candidates put together by the Arewa Joint Committee in Kaduna, said he was in Anambra to monitor the state’s governorship election when the former governor asked the Department of State Service (DSS) operatives to detain him at a hotel he lodged in Awka, the state capital.

He said: “Your next guest, Peter Obi, was governor. He got me arrested and detained for 48 hours in my hotel room. Now, I am the governor of Kaduna State. And he is coming to Kaduna.
“In addition to the police and the SSS, I have 1 Mechanised Division of the Nigerian Army here, if I need to arrest and detain anyone. But we are northerners. We are civilised. We don’t do things like that.”
