Full List Of 48 Malami-linked Properties Forfeited To FG

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday ordered the final forfeiture of 48 out of 57 properties linked to a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to the Federal Government.

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, in her judgment, held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) established the reasonable suspicion required by law to justify the forfeiture of the assets.

The judge ruled that Malami, members of his family and companies linked to the properties failed to sufficiently disprove the anti-graft agency’s allegation that the assets were acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities.

According to the court, the central issue was not whether the respondents owned the properties but whether the funds used to acquire them were legitimate.

Following the judgment, the court ordered the permanent forfeiture of 48 properties to the Federal Government but discharged the interim forfeiture order placed on the remaining nine assets.

The EFCC had in January 2026 obtained an interim forfeiture order covering the 57 properties from Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The order was granted in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/20/2026.

At the time, the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said the properties were valued at approximately ₦213.2 billion.

According to the commission, the assets are located in the Federal Capital Territory, Kebbi, Kano and Kaduna states.

Malami served as Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice from 2015 to 2023 under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
