Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside an interim forfeiture order on 57 properties seized by the EFCC and valued at ₦213.23 billion.

Justice Emeka Nwite had ordered the interim forfeiture pending investigations into alleged illicit funds linked to Malami and two of his sons. The court has yet to fix a hearing date.

The assets include luxury hotels, duplexes, commercial shops, warehouses and vast landholdings across Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and Kebbi.

Malami, his wife and son are already facing trial over alleged ₦8.7 billion money laundering, with proceedings set to begin on February 17.

The court reportedly directed the FCCPC to enforce compliance by shutting down the company’s premises until the matter is resolved. The judgment is seen as another major test of consumer protection enforcement in Nigeria’s automobile sector. The FCCPC has increasingly intensified actions against companies accused of violating consumer rights in recent years. Earlier cases involved sanctions and enforcement actions against firms in sectors including pay television and real estate. Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has not publicly released full details of the enforcement process at the time of reporting.
