EFCC Evicts Abubakar Malami's Family from Abuja Home

On Tuesday, October 3, 2023, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) evicted former Attorney General Abubakar Malami's family from their residence located at No 2 Koronakh Close, Amazon Street, Maitama, Abuja. This action occurred despite an ongoing court case concerning the property, which is under an interim forfeiture order issued on January 6, 2026.

Malami addressed journalists, asserting that the EFCC's eviction was executed without a specific court order and without proper legal recourse, arguing that such actions undermine the judicial process. He emphasized that the EFCC should have exercised restraint and allowed the court proceedings to continue, as the matter is already being challenged in the Federal High Court, with the next hearing scheduled for April 20, 2026.

Malami's lawyer, J.B. Daudu, has been involved in discussions regarding the next legal steps following this incident, which has raised questions about potential political motivations behind the EFCC's actions.
