Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have taken control of Azbir Hotel and Azbir Arena, properties owned by former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), in Kebbi State.
The development is linked to an ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) into allegations of money laundering and abuse of office involving the former minister. Malami was invited by the anti-graft agency for questioning on November 28 as part of the probe.
The takeover comes amid heightened tension following Malami’s recent claims that EFCC operatives carried out coordinated raids on his offices and private residences in Abuja and Kebbi State, actions he described as threatening and unlawful.
