The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday moved to forfeit the Maitama, Abuja residence of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN.
Led by Folarin Dare, heavily armed EFCC personnel were said to have arrived the property in at least five buses.
The reportedly barricaded the road leading to Malami’s residence.
It was gathered that access to the property, located at No. 2 Koranakh Close, off Amazon Street in Maitama, Abuja, was blocked as the operatives sealed off the area.
The development is said to be connected to an ongoing investigation into alleged financial improprieties on the part of the ex-AGF.
GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that a federal high court in Abuja has granted bail to Abubakar Malami, former attorney-general of the federation (AGF), and his son, Abdulaziz, in the sum of N200 million each over alleged terrorism-related offences.
Joyce Abdulmalik, the presiding judge, ordered the defendants to produce two sureties each in like sum.
The court held that one of the sureties must provide the title deed of a developed property located in either Asokoro or Maitama, Abuja. The defendants were also directed to deposit their international passports with the court.
Malami and his son were arraigned on February 3 on a five-count charge bordering on alleged terrorism financing and illegal possession of firearms.
The Department of State Services (DSS) accused Malami of refusing to prosecute terrorism financiers whose case files were reportedly forwarded to the office of the attorney-general for prosecution.
