Malami

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday fixed July 6 for judgment in the forfeiture suit filed by the EFCC against 57 properties linked to former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, SAN.

Judge Joyce Abdulmalik fixed the date after EFCC’s lawyer, Jibrin Okutepa, SAN, and counsel to Malami and other respondents, Adedayo Adedeji, SAN, adopted their processes and presented their arguments for and against the case.

The anti-graft agency had, in the suit, sought the final forfeiture of the properties for reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities.
