Bello El-Rufai, the eldest son of the former governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, has taken a legal action against a blogger, Sabina Nkiru, for posting what he described as false news about him.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) described as false claims that it discovered $800 million, N700 billion cash, and drugs worth N1 trillion at the residence of Bello El-Rufai.
This was after Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, the member representing Kaduna North federal constituency in the house of representatives, described the viral claim that the EFCC raided his Kaduna residence as false.
But on Friday, December 6, reports making the round on social media X claimed that Bello El-Rufai has sued the lady for defamation and publishing fake news of EFCC raiding his home.
El-Rufai’s son petitioned the Nigerian Police Force through his lawyer Emmanuel Oni Esq.

In a swift reaction to the development, the blogger, Nkirukamma @SabinaNkiru released a terse statement to clarify her position on the matter.
She apologised to Honourable Bello El-Rufai and explained how she got the information of the EFCC raiding the lawmaker’s home in Kaduna state.
The blogger tweeted:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Bello El-Rufai said his father Nasir sent him into exile when he was governor of Kaduna state.
Unlike other governorsâ children, Bello said he did not stay in Kaduna doing contracts.
