The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied 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, Kaduna State’s immediate past governor.
According to an unsubstantiated allegation released on Wednesday, the anti-graft agency discovered the purported money and narcotics inside Bello’s apartment in Kaduna State.
However, in a brief statement released on Thursday via Facebook, the anti-graft agency denied carrying out such an operation.
The anti-graft agency described the claim 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.”
