Nigeria's EFCC seized former AG Abubakar Malami's properties without valid court order after interim forfeiture expired Jan. 20, 2026, he claims.

Abubakar Malami, former Nigerian attorney general, says the EFCC seized his homes and offices without a valid court order, claiming an interim forfeiture order expired on January 20, 2026. He denies allegations tied to the 57 properties, including charges of terrorism financing and money laundering, and asserts the agency acted unlawfully despite the pending court case. EFCC officials marked the properties with “Restrained order EFCC keep off” signs during a raid accompanied by armed personnel. Malami, recently released on bail, argues the seizure violated due process and legal procedures.
