Wife of of former Kaduna State Governor, Hadiza Isma El-Rufai has raised concerns that the ICPC seized her bank security tokens during the recent search of their residence.
The ICPC had earlier released details of items recovered during the operation, however the bank authentication tokens were not included in the official list.
This omission prompted Mrs El-Rufai to publicly call out the anti graft agency, suggesting she was worried the devices might be wrongly classified as wiretapping equipment, especially considering the recent controversy surrounding items described as electronic or surveillance tools.
In a post on her verified X account, she wrote:
“You forgot to mention that you also took away my bank tokens. I swear to God, they are not wiretapping equipment.”
She attached a photo showing three small electronic banking tokens, devices typically used to authorize online financial transactions and provide an extra layer of security for bank accounts.
