Nigeria’s former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has come under intensified scrutiny as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) confiscates his international passport and questions him over the handling of hundreds of millions of dollars recovered from the Abacha loot.
According to reliable security and anti-graft sources, Malami is being asked to account for approximately $400 million tied to the recovery and management of Abacha-era funds during his tenure. The probe is focused on transactions, approvals, and financial decisions made under his watch, particularly those involving repatriated assets from foreign governments.
EFCC investigators are said to be reviewing multiple files connected to the recovery process, aiming to determine whether any funds were mismanaged, diverted, or improperly disbursed.
Malami is expected to provide detailed explanations in the coming days as the investigation enters a more rigorous phase.
The development adds to growing public pressure for transparency and accountability in the management of recovered assets, a recurring issue in Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts.
Authorities have not yet disclosed whether charges will follow, but insiders say the probe is “far from over” as more documents and transactions remain under review.
