The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has rejected reports that it uncovered $800 million, ₦700 billion in cash, and drugs valued at ₦1 trillion at the residence of Bello El-Rufai, the eldest son of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The unverified report, which spread on Wednesday, alleged that the EFCC had discovered the large sums of money and illicit substances during a raid at Bello El-Rufai’s Kaduna home.
In response, the EFCC issued a statement on Thursday via its official Facebook page, denying the claims.
The commission described the report as entirely false, urging the public to disregard the fabricated story.
The EFCC’s statement read: “EFCC Discovers $800 Million, ₦700 Billion Cash, and ₦1 Trillion Worth of Drugs at Nasir El-Rufai Son’s House in Kaduna. This news is a false representation of the EFCC’s activities. Members of the public are advised to ignore it.”
