The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has reportedly recovered sophisticated wiretapping equipment allegedly capable of intercepting private conversations and accessing sensitive security documents from the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
According to court filings, the items were retrieved during a search conducted in the presence of his wife, Hadiza El-Rufai, and his son, Mohammed Bello.
The anti-graft agency further claimed that El-Rufai declined to cooperate with investigators, choosing to remain silent until arraigned in court. It also alleged that one of his aides linked to the investigation has fled the country.
ICPC disclosed that it secured a 14-day detention order from a Magistrate Court in Bwari, FCT, which is set to expire on Thursday. The commission denied accusations of arbitrary detention and repression, urging the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory to dismiss the former governor’s suit alleging violation of his fundamental human rights.
Additionally, the commission stated that El-Rufai has questions to answer over serious corruption allegations, including:
-The whereabouts of €1.4 million.
-180 suspicious payments totaling ₦2.15 billion from Kaduna State’s Consolidated Revenue Account linked to its IGR account.
-Transfers amounting to over ₦428 million to undisclosed accounts.
