The family of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has dismissed claims that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) discovered phone-tapping equipment during a raid on his residence. In a statement signed by his son and Kaduna North lawmaker, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, the family described the allegation as false and misleading.
They said only old mobile phones, laptops, and flash drives were taken from the house, items they described as personal effects common to many households. The family insisted that no sophisticated surveillance devices or sensitive security documents were found during the search.
The statement also faulted claims that El-Rufai refused to cooperate with investigators. The family maintained that he exercised his constitutional right to remain silent and challenged the commission to charge him in court if there is evidence against him.

They further alleged that the search warrant used for the operation was defective and has been challenged in court. The family said it has instructed its lawyers to pursue legal action, expressing confidence that the judiciary will address the matter.
