The family of Nasir El-Rufai has officially labeled the ICPC’s report of finding "wiretapping equipment" in their house as a total lie.
They argue that the agency is trying to make everyday electronics look like illegal spying tools to bias the court.
The ICPC filed documents showing they seized hard drives, Apple MacBooks, and bank statements. They also took records of loans approved while El-Rufai was Governor and documents for several properties.
The agency accused the former Governor of not cooperating. However, his family defended his decision to stay quiet during questioning, stating that the Nigerian Constitution gives every citizen the right to remain silent.
The ICPC claims they had a legal warrant and performed the search in February in the presence of El-Rufai’s wife and son, alongside police officers.
This conflict follows an earlier claim by El-Rufai that he had proof of a phone conversation involving the National Security Adviser (NSA). The ICPC’s recent "wiretapping" claim seems to be a direct response to that allegation.
