Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, was involved in a tense standoff with operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during an early morning raid on his residence in Abuja.
In a video circulating online, Malami is seen challenging the operatives’ presence, repeatedly demanding proof of a valid court order authorizing their actions.
“Where is your court order?” he asked firmly. “Do you want to disgrace me?”
The EFCC officials reportedly maintained that they had the authority to mark the property, stating that it was under investigation.
However, Malami resisted, insisting that any court order permitting such action had already expired.
“You said the property is under probation, is it still under probation when the order has elapsed?” he queried.
“You were at my other house earlier this morning, and now you are here again. Why?”
He further challenged the operatives to present clear legal backing for their actions.
“The order you are referring to is not specific. It does not give you clear directives to come and mark my property,” Malami said.
“This matter is already pending in court. Show me where it is stated that you have the authority to be here.”
It was earlier reported that Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday stormed a house belonging to former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami in Abuja, forcing those present to leave.
The incident occurred shortly after former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar visited the Maitama residence. He reportedly spent about an hour there before leaving.
