The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed claims that it discovered $800 million, ₦700 billion in cash, and drugs worth ₦1 trillion at the residence of Bello El-Rufai, the eldest son of Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State.
In a statement shared on its official Facebook account on Thursday, the EFCC described the allegations as false and baseless.
The rumors had suggested that the anti-graft agency uncovered the funds and drugs during a raid at Bello’s residence in Kaduna State. However, the EFCC clarified that no such discovery was made, urging the public to disregard the reports.
The commission stated:
“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 is a false narrative of the activities of the EFCC. Members of the public are enjoined to ignore it.”
Similarly, Bello El-Rufai also denied the allegations, calling them baseless and false.
This clarification comes amid widespread speculation and serves to refute the misinformation circulating about the EFCC’s operations.
