Nigerian Police Take Over Malami’s Azbir Hotel, Arena In Kebbi As EFCC Probes Alleged $16.9Million Abacha Loot Legal Fees Scam, Money Laundering
Nigerian police operatives have taken control of Azbir Hotel and Azbir Arena in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State—properties linked to former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN—amid an ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The takeover follows multiple petitions accusing Malami of alleged financial improprieties, including involvement in a $16.9 million legal fees scam tied to the recovery of the Sani Abacha loot, money laundering, abuse of office, and accumulation of unexplained wealth. Court filings show that the EFCC has sought an order to remand Malami and an associate for further investigation, citing a prima facie case of corruption, criminal conspiracy, and breach of trust. Petitioners also questioned Malami’s ownership of high-value assets across Kebbi, Abuja and Kano, insisting that the scale of the properties far exceeds his legitimate earnings as a public servant.
