Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has lamented that the sealing of his residence is politically motivated.
Naija News reports that Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives, on Monday, marked an Abuja property linked to the former minister following an interim forfeiture order granted by a court
Speaking on the development in an interview with newsmen, Malami lamented that his immediate family members were harassed by the operatives.
He alleged that he was being threatened over his governorship ambition, adding that the security operatives came fully armed under the pretext of coming to serve letters of invitation.
Malami said, “There were personnel that were fully kitted, fully armed, and very intimidating, harassing my immediate family members under the pretext that they came to serve letters of invitation.
“So letters were eventually served, not only at the house where they found me, but also at my other multiple houses and business premises.”
The chieftain of the African Democratic Congress emphasised that he had complied with due process.
“To my knowledge, there was indeed a court order for the entry into my properties, but my person was given 14 days within which to respond. We have responded, joined issues before the court, and filed an application to have the order set aside.
