The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on Monday disclosed details of documents and electronic devices allegedly recovered from the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai. The ICPC said the materials would undergo forensic examination as part of ongoing investigations into alleged corruption and asset concealment. Reacting in a statement on Monday, El-Rufai’s family accused the commission of attempting to criminalise his silence during interrogation. No equipment other than old discarded personal mobile phones… storage devices like flash drives and laptops… were seized from the property,” the statement read. The ICPC maintained that its actions were lawful and in line with its statutory mandate to investigate corruption and related offences.
