The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it will appeal a Federal High Court ruling that dismissed its application for the final forfeiture of nine properties linked to former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this on Wednesday while speaking at the 43rd Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.
The 2026 symposium, themed “Asset Recovery and the Rule of Law – Taking the Profit Out of Crime,” brought together law enforcement officials, judges, prosecutors and experts from various countries to examine strategies for recovering proceeds of crime.
Olukoyede said the commission had traced 57 properties to Malami and secured final forfeiture orders over 48 of them.
