EFCC DENIES RAIDING EL-RUFAI’S SON’S RESIDENCE
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has refuted claims that it uncovered $800 million, ₦700 billion in cash, and drugs valued at ₦1 trillion at the residence of Bello El-Rufai.
Bello El-Rufai is the eldest son of Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past Governor of Kaduna State.
An unconfirmed report on Wednesday claimed that the EFCC discovered the alleged sums of money and drugs at Bello’s residence in Kaduna State.
However, in a brief statement on Thursday via Facebook, the anti-graft agency denied conducting such an operation.
The EFCC described the narrative as false.
It read, “EFCC Discovers $800 Million, ₦700 Billion Cash, and ₦1 Trillion Worth of Drugs at Nasir El-Rufai Son’s House in Kaduna
“This piece of news quoted above is a false narrative of the activities of the EFCC. Members of the public are enjoined to ignore it.”
