• A Federal High Court ordered the final forfeiture of 48 properties linked to former AGF Abubakar Malami.

• The assets include a ₦56bn university, a ₦12.95bn hotel, a ₦78.75m radio station and a ₦5.95bn luxury duplex.

• The properties are spread across Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and Kebbi states.

• The forfeiture followed an EFCC application and is separate from the ongoing criminal proceedings involving Malami.

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

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik delivered the ruling after granting an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which argued that the assets were reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities.

The ruling followed an interim forfeiture order issued earlier in the proceedings. While the EFCC initially sought the forfeiture of 57 properties, the court granted a final forfeiture order for 48 of them.

According to the report by PUNCH, the assets span Abuja, Kebbi, Kano and Kaduna states and include luxury residential properties, hotels, commercial buildings, a university, a radio station, an agro-allied factory and other high-value investments.

Malami has denied wrongdoing in the separate criminal proceedings against him. The forfeiture order is a civil asset forfeiture proceeding and does not amount to a criminal conviction.
