$490m Abacha Loot: EFCC Seizes Former AGF Malami’s Passport by Pakute(op): 2:44pm On Nov 30, 2025

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Saturday announced that it had seized the travel passport of a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

The commission said this in a fact sheet issued on the investigation into Malami’s involvement in the whereabouts of $490 million Abacha loot secured through Mutual Legal Assistance (MLAT).

According to the EFCC, Malami would not be able to travel out of Nigeria without the permission of the court.

Recall that the former AGF had earlier been invited and interrogated by the commission in its headquarters in Abuja.

He was later released on administrative bail on Saturday at about 1 am and was asked to report daily to the commission for further interrogation.

The EFCC said, “We didn’t say he stole money, but he should account for the loot. This is one of the issues he will clarify to our investigators.

“Considering the huge volumes of documents he has to go through and the detectives he needs to interact with, we have seized his international passport.

“One of the conditions for his release on bail at 1am on Saturday was that he should report daily to the EFCC headquarters for interaction.

“He cannot travel out of the country except as mutually agreed with EFCC or with the permission of a High Court,” the commission stated.

While Malami had also said that the allegations against him were fabricated, the commission noted that it would not join issues with the former AGF on the matter.

“We won’t join issues with him on his braggadocio but we will release our findings to the public after painstaking investigation,” the EFCC added.

I'm quite certain Prof Sagay will be a primary witness against Malami. As Chairman of asset recovery and whatever..., he cried and screamed and complained about the corruption under Malami till his last days in office. He would have run to EFCC's office to provide additional documents to nail Malami.

According to the EFCC....

We are not saying he stole money...

We have seized his passport...

They can use the word "holding" instead of "seize"

To seize is a strong word and sounds as if they have something on him

All these attorneys generals usually
connive with bad people to defraud the
country..

His own was very brazen, but anything
was allowed under the disgraced Buhari
era, especially once you are Fulani.

Malami stole enough money💰💲💸 to run his
home state for 5 straight years😕😕😕

So Abacha’s loot was stolen. The loot that we were happy that was recovered was stolen. That means the reason they were pushing to recover the Abacha’s loot was to steal or rather re-loot it

Buhari's government was a deep mess and I wonder why many people from the western part of Nigeria were still supporting him when it was so obvious that he was running a corrupt government.

Was that because of their love for the country?

I need someone to explain to me.
