Court Seizes N213 Billion and 57 Luxury Mansions Linked to Ex-AGF Malami and His Sons as EFCC Moves in for the Kill!

The legal walls are closing in on Nigeria’s former top lawyer, Abubakar Malami, as a Federal High Court has ordered the temporary seizure of a staggering ₦213.2 billion and 57 luxury assets belonging to him and his sons.

In a landmark ruling that has sent shockwaves through the political class, the court agreed with the EFCC that there is “sufficient suspicion” that these massive riches were built with stolen public funds. This isn’t just about cash in the bank; we are talking about a real estate empire that includes 57 properties, including hotels, mansions, and shopping centers spread across the country.

Malami’s sons, Abba and Abdulaziz, have also been dragged into the center of the storm. The EFCC told the court that the sons were allegedly used as fronts, with multi-billion naira businesses and accounts registered in their names during the period their father served as the Attorney-General of the Federation.

The judge’s order means that the Federal Government now controls these assets—at least for now. Malami and his family have been given a deadline to come to court and prove that they actually worked for and earned every kobo of that ₦213 billion. If they can’t provide a clean paper trail, the “interim” seizure will become a permanent loss.

This move is being hailed as the biggest “big fish” catch of 2026 so far. For many Nigerians, this isn’t just a court case; it’s a test of whether the current anti-corruption drive can truly touch the “untouchables” of the past.
