EFCC reacts to claims of uncovering $800m, N700b, others in El-Rufai’s Son’s Residence
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has firmly rejected reports claiming that it uncovered $800 million, ₦700 billion in cash, and ₦1 trillion worth of drugs at the residence of Bello El-Rufai, the eldest son of Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State.
In a brief statement posted Thursday on its official Facebook page, the EFCC labeled these allegations as entirely false, dismissing the rumors as a baseless distortion of the Commission’s operations.
This clarification comes in response to circulating speculations regarding the supposed discovery of massive sums of money and illegal substances at Bello El-Rufai’s home in Kaduna.
The EFCC, therefore, urged Nigerians to disregard the reports, stating:
“‘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.”
Bello El-Rufai had also refuted the claims.
