About 67 items in total were recovered by agents of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) during a search of the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai last month, a court filing submitted by the anti-corruption agency has revealed.
The list comprises electronic devices, financial documents, as well as real estate and property records.

The ICPC filed the list along with its counter-affidavit at the Federal High Court in Abuja to oppose a N1 billion fundamental rights enforcement suit instituted by Mr El-Rufai to challenge the anti-corruption agency’s search of his home in Abuja last month.
In the suit, Mr El-Rufai asked the court to declare the search illegal and bar the agency from relying on any item or information recovered during the exercise in any court proceedings.

He also sought N1 billion as compensation for the violation of rights he claimed the search amounted to.
But the ICPC urged the court in its counter-affidavit to dismiss the suit, maintaining that the search, witnessed by his son and wife, was carried out in line with the law.
The agency’s counter-affidavit detailing its stance on the matter was accompanied by a series of supporting documents, including Mr El-Rufai’s hand-written statements and the list of electronic devices recovered during the search.

A hand-written document also seen among the court filings contains the full list of all 67 items recovered from the house at 12 Mambilla Street, Asokoro, Abuja. PREMIUM TIMES summarised the list in an earlier report.
While Mr El-Rufai remains in ICPC custody, since his arrest by the operatives of the ICPC last month, his family has denied some claims in the ICPC’s counter-affidavit, including alleged recovery of a phone-tapping device during the search.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) stalwart and President Bola Tinubu, has been in ICPC custody since 19 February, after his release from days of detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which had detained him after he honoured an invitation on Monday, 16 February.
Mr El-Rufai, who is facing prosecution by the State Security Service (SSS) over his claim of tapping National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu’s phone call, remains in ICPC’s custody as of the time of filing this report on Wednesday.
