Ex-AGF Malami Faces $16.9m Abacha Loot Probe, Unexplained Multi-Billion Naira Assets — EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has accused former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, of involvement in an alleged $16.9 million legal fees scam linked to the recovery of the Sani Abacha loot. Multiple petitions claim Malami authorised unnecessary payments to associates for work allegedly already completed by foreign lawyers. Beyond the Abacha loot allegations, the EFCC is probing Malami’s ownership of high-value assets—including Azbir Hotel, Rayhan University, rice mills, schools, and properties in Abuja, Kano and Kebbi—said to be disproportionate to his legitimate earnings. The anti-graft agency has asked a court to remand Malami and an associate, citing fears of flight risk and witness intimidation.
