The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday moved to forfeit the Maitama, Abuja residence of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN.
Led by Folarin Dare, heavily armed EFCC personnel were said to have arrived the property in at least five buses.
The reportedly barricaded the road leading to Malami’s residence.
It was gathered that access to the property, located at No. 2 Koranakh Close, off Amazon Street in Maitama, Abuja, was blocked as the operatives sealed off the area.
The development is said to be connected to an ongoing investigation into alleged financial improprieties on the part of the ex-AGF.
Residents and visitors were reportedly prevented from accessing the street as the anti-graft agency mounted a heavy security presence.
The agency confirmed that its operatives are acting on a lawful court order firmly grounded in judicial authority.
This development comes on the heels of recent operations by security agencies targeting several of the former minister’s assets across the Federal Capital Territory. Operatives had earlier, on Monday, marked the property for forfeiture.
