Bello El-Rufai, a House of Representatives member and son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has dismissed rumors of an EFCC raid uncovering massive cash and drugs at his residence in Kaduna.
Reports circulating claimed that $800 million, ₦700 billion in cash, and ₦1 trillion worth of drugs were found at his home.
In a statement, Bello clarified he does not own a separate property in Kaduna, only the family house in Unguwar Sarki, where he has lived since birth.
He described the allegations as false, aimed at discdrediting him and spreading confusion.
Bello reaffirmed his commitment to representing Kaduna North and warned that those behind the rumours would face legal consequences.
Proceeds from any legal action, he added, would benefit his constituency.
“My constituents that I represent know what will happen if I was blessed with such figures. For those sponsoring these ignorant attacks, I assure you that we will continue to serve the people, and we will continue to enjoy how it annoys them; adding quality, frank, and honest representation is here to stay in Kaduna North.
“The use of fake news to manipulate public perception and instigate discord, is not only defamatory but an affront to the principles of justice and fairness,” he stated.
