Wiretapping equipment not found in El-Rufai's house - Wife replies ICPC
- On Monday, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission carried out a raid and seized items at Mallam Nasir El‑Rufai's residence in Abuja while he remains in ICPC custody after EFCC granted bail on February 18, 2026.
- According to El‑Rufai's statement, the family claims the warrant was forged and fraudulently procured by a Magistrate purporting to sit in the FCT High Court, describing the search as `a circus of chicanery`.
- According to El‑Rufai's team, items seized were old discarded personal mobile phones, flash drives and laptops, while the family says the agency's public list falsely suggests espionage equipment.
- El‑Rufai's lawyers have challenged the warrant in a court of competent jurisdiction, arguing that a forged warrant would render the search and evidence inadmissible, the family says.
- The family accuses the ICPC of being 'captured and weaponized' and vows to press legal remedies, expressing faith that the Nigerian judiciary will see through this shameful charade.
