EFCC Raids Malami’s Abuja Homes Without Valid Court Order, Office Alleges

The Office of Abubakar Malami, SAN, says EFCC operatives stormed his residential and business premises in Abuja without presenting any subsisting court order. Two people were taken into custody during the operation. Malami’s team notes that the ex parte forfeiture order cited by the EFCC expired days ago. They say the Federal High Court case is still pending and no fresh authorisation was granted for today’s action. This incident followed a solidarity visit by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, raising questions about timing and potential political motives. The Office condemns the forceful takeover as a breach of due process and the rule of law. While Malami remains committed to accountability, his team insists that investigations must respect legal procedures. They vow to defend his rights through proper judicial channels and call on Nigerians to monitor this troubling development.

It's odd that the EFCC went ahead without presenting a valid court order, especially given the severity of asset forfeiture claims.

Both EFCC and Malami's office should push for expedited court clarification to avoid conflicts over forfeiture orders and ensure transparency.
