EXPOSED: Security Agency Publishes Full List of Items Recovered in El-Rufai House

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has released a comprehensive list of items seized from the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

This announcement followed court documents submitted to the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja, which were part of the agency’s response to a N1 billion lawsuit filed by El-Rufai.

In his lawsuit, El-Rufai alleges that the commission engaged in unlawful arrest, illegal detention, and conducted an improper search of his private residence.

The ICPC, in its response, clarified that the search was executed under a valid warrant issued on February 18, executed the following day at the former governor’s home in Asokoro.

The commission confirmed that the operation was conducted by its officers, accompanied by personnel from the Nigeria Police Force. It was noted that the search was overseen by El-Rufai’s wife, Hadiza El-Rufai, and his son, Mohammed El-Rufai.

According to court documents, several sensitive materials were recovered during the search.

These include investor account statements, asset declaration forms, company registration records, and compliance documents. Also recovered were loan papers approved by the Kaduna State House of Assembly between 2015 and 2023, as well as investigation reports linked to El-Rufai and some of his associates.

The agency further listed share certificates, land ownership files, property records, student financial documents, and multiple powers of attorney for different properties.

Other items seized include venture capital documents, payment instructions, and media-related materials taken from the former governor’s office.

In addition to paper documents, the commission said it recovered several electronic devices from the residence.

These include nine flash drives, one memory card, seven hard drives, laptops such as Apple MacBook Pro and Elumac Book Pro, and different mobile phones. The list also includes 18 other electronic gadgets and a Remarkable tablet with its chargers.

The commission stated that all recovered items were properly documented, sealed, and kept for forensic analysis.

It also noted that El-Rufai recorded in the official inventory that he did not grant consent for access to any of the electronic devices seized from his home.

The case is now before the Federal Capital Territory High Court, where both parties are expected to present arguments on the legality of the search and the handling of the recovered items.
