The family of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has strongly denied the claims made by the ICPC regarding a raid on his Abuja home.

The ICPC stated they found "sophisticated phone-tapping equipment and sensitive security documents," but El-Rufai's son, Hon. Mohammed El-Rufai (representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency), issued a statement on Monday calling these assertions "false and politically motivated."

He clarified that no advanced tapping gear was confiscated during the search.

According to Mohammed El-Rufai, only "old discarded personal mobile phones… storage devices like flash drives and laptops" were removed from the property.

His mother, Hadiza El-Rufai, backed up this account on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "I was there. No such equipment was found. They lie. But why? An agency with no credibility at all."
