 Phone-Tapping Equipment: ICPC Being Used As Political Tool – Bello El-Rufai


Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, the lawmaker representing Kaduna North in the House of Representatives and son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, has accused the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of being deployed as a political instrument against his father.


His remarks followed the commission’s announcement that suspected wiretapping devices were discovered at the former governor’s Abuja residence.


In a statement he personally signed, Bello criticized the anti-graft agency’s actions, alleging that it exceeded its legal mandate and engaged in questionable conduct.


Titled “The Insecurity of ICPC,” the statement described the commission’s public disclosure as a sign of internal inconsistencies and irregularities.


Bello further alleged that the agency appeared to be involved in misconduct similar to the offences it is mandated to investigate, including the purported creation of falsified documents.


He maintained that such actions demonstrate unprofessionalism and suggest that the commission’s credibility has been undermined for political purposes.


The lawmaker also revealed that his legal team has been instructed to challenge what he termed unlawful investigative procedures, disputed documentation, and misleading claims attributed to the ICPC.


He expressed confidence that the judiciary would eventually provide clarity and establish the facts of the matter.


Part of the statement read:

“The ICPC’s publication seems designed to shape public opinion. It contains claims and documentation that fall short of the standards expected of the commission, including the generation of questionable records.


“This trend indicates an abuse of power and points to the agency being swayed from its core mandate for political reasons.


“We will oppose any attempt to subject us to public scrutiny through processes that lack transparency and fairness.”
