Bello El-Rufai, son of former governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai and current representative of the Kaduna North federal constituency in the national assembly, has debunked reports which claim his house was raised by the operatives of the Economic And Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
According to the said reports, Bello’s house was raided and cash stashed in vaults were discovered by EFCC operatives.
While debunking the report, Bello El-Rufai described the report as a product of fake news and mischief makers who are envious of the goodwill he enjoys particularly among his constituents and Nigerians generally.
“The use of fake news to manipulate public perception and instigate discord, stressing the attempt to connect him to illicit activities through unfounded allegations was not only defamatory but an affront to the principles of justice and fairness,” he stated.
He further stated that if he had such an amount of money being reported to have been found in his home, he would have used it to sponsor life-changing projects in 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”.
