Abuja, Nigeria — The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly sealed a residence tied to former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, where Nana Hadiza Buhari, daughter of former President Muhammadu Buhari, is believed to reside, according to credible reports.
Operatives of the anti-graft agency were deployed to the property on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, in what sources described as a significant escalation in the high-profile corruption investigation involving Malami.
The sealing comes amid Malami’s continued detention by the EFCC. The former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General, who served from 2015 to 2023, has been held over allegations including money laundering, terrorism financing, and questionable management of recovered Abacha loot, sources indicate.
Nana Hadiza Buhari, Malami’s third wife and a daughter of the late President Buhari, is reported to be at the residence during the operation. No official statement has been released by the EFCC regarding the sealing or its connection to the broader investigation.
Malami’s legal team and family representatives have yet to publicly comment on the development. The anti-graft agency has also declined to provide details, citing the sensitivity of ongoing proceedings.
The action marks one of the most prominent moves in recent EFCC operations targeting politically connected figures and is expected to draw heightened public and legal scrutiny in the coming days.
