in Abuja has ordered the final forfeiture of 48 property linked to a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to the Federal Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, in a judgment delivered in Abuja on Wednesday, held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had established the reasonable suspicion required by law to justify the forfeiture of the assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge ruled that Malami, his family members and companies linked to the properties failed to dislodge the commission\u2019s allegation that the assets were acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before delivering the substantive judgment, Justice Abdulmalik dismissed several applications, motions on notice and applications to show cause filed by the respondents, describing them as wanting in merit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She held that the issue before the court was not the ownership of the properties but the legitimacy of the funds used to acquire them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the final forfeiture of 48 property linked to a former Attorney General
