The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has urged the public to disregard the claim that it uncovered a stock of cash in the kaduna home of Honorable Bello El Rufai.
Describing it as “baseless and misleading”, the commision said it is totally untrue that its operatives found a stock of cash totalling $800million and N700billion.
It also denies the claim of discovering drugs valued N1trillion at the Kaduna residence of Bello, the son of Malam Nasir El Rugai, the former governor of Kaduna state.
In a statement shared on its official Facebook page, the commission labeled the reports as baseless and misleading.
Bello El Rufai who is currently serving as a member of the House of Representatives has also dismissed the story as completely untrue.
He clarified that he does not own any private residence in Kaduna aside from his family home in Unguwar Sarki, where he has lived since childhood.
He described the accusations as an intentional act to tarnish his image and spread confusion among the public.
It was claimed in the rumour that these discoveries were made during an operation in Kaduna State, sparking widespread public reactions.
The EFCC has urged citizens to disregard the false information.
