Legal battle over house search
El-Rufai is challenging the legality of the search conducted at his residence located at 12 Mambilla Street, Asokoro, Abuja. In his suit, he asked the court to declare the operation unlawful and to bar the anti-graft agency from relying on any materials obtained during the exercise in future proceedings.
He is also seeking N1 billion in damages, alleging that the search violated his constitutional rights.
In response, the ICPC urged the court to dismiss the suit, insisting that the search was conducted lawfully and in the presence of members of his family, including his wife and son.

Family disputes some claims
While El-Rufai remains in ICPC custody, his family has reportedly disputed certain claims made in the counter-affidavit, including allegations concerning the recovery of a phone-tapping device during the search.
The former governor has been in ICPC custody since February 19, following his release from earlier detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which had invited and detained him days earlier.

In a separate development, El-Rufai is also facing prosecution by the State Security Service over allegations relating to claims of tapping the phone of the National Security Adviser.
As of the time of filing this report, the court has yet to fix a date for ruling on the fundamental rights enforcement suit.
El-Rufai breaks silence from ICPC custody
Legit.ng earlier reported that former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has explained why he declined to answer questions from operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), insisting that the investigation against him is politically motivated.
El-Rufai, who has been in custody since February 16 after honouring an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was initially granted bail by the anti-graft agency after 48 hours. However, he was subsequently taken into custody by the ICPC.
