BREAKING: FCT Minister Nyesom Wike flags off the construction of the Abuja City Walk project, a world-class mixed-use development modelled after Dubai’s iconic City Walk.
The project will create a vibrant, mixed-use urban hub and will feature a 450-metre skyscraper projected to become Africa’s tallest tower, as well as commercial, retail, medical, hospitality, institutional and luxury facilities when completed.
The development will also include a 13,000-seat indoor arena expected to become Nigeria’s largest indoor sports and entertainment venue, alongside an arts district with about 12,000 square metres of exhibition and performance space.
Other features include “The Living Ravine,” an ecological corridor built around a sustainable “Sponge District” concept that uses wetlands, swales, and green waterways for flood management, rainwater harvesting, and climate resilience.
The launch of the project was done by President Tinubu, who was represented by Vice President Shettima, while FCT Minister Nyesom Wike announced that all access roads to the project site have been completed by the FCT administration.
1. Former Accountant General Ahmed Idris was charged with diverting ₦109.5 billion.
2. Former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman has been convicted over the criminal diversion of ₦33.8 billion.
3. Former Attorney General Abubakar Malami has forfeited 48 properties worth ₦212 billion.
4. Malami is also facing a 16-count charge of conspiracy and money laundering involving an alleged ₦8.7 billion, alongside his wife and one of his sons.
5. Just imagine, among the assets forfeited by Malami was a mosque in Kebbi State built with proceeds of illicit wealth. He doesn't have the fear of Almighty Allah.
6. Former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele is facing multiple criminal prosecutions over diversion of ₦154.39 billion.
7. Emefiele has also forfeited 753 housing units to the Federal Government.
How this nation continues to survive such monumental looting across virtually every sector is mind-blowing. Until we fundamentally overhaul our criminal justice system and impose severe penalties for grand corruption, public office will remain an irresistible gateway for those who treat the public treasury as a private vault, while ordinary Nigerians continue to bear the brunt.
EFCC Secures Final Forfeiture of University, Radio Station, 46 Other Properties Linked to Malami
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, secured the final forfeiture of 48 properties linked to a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Among the forfeited properties are Rayhaan University, Kebbi State, including the Rayhaan University Permanent Site, Rayhaan University Temporary Site, Rayhaan University Third Site, the Rayhaan University Vice Chancellor's House and Rayhaan Radio along Sani Abacha Bypass Road, Birnin Kebbi.
Delivering judgment, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Abuja, held that the Commission had successfully established that the properties were reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities and were not acquired from lawful sources of income.
The properties finally forfeited to the Federal Government are: a luxury duplex at Amazon Street, Plot No. 3011 within Cadastral Zone A06, Maitama District, Abuja (File No. AN 11352); a two-winged large three-storey building situated at No. 3 Onitsha Crescent, Area 11, Garki, Cadastral Zone A03, Abuja (formerly Harmonia Hotels Limited); Plot 683, Jabi District, Cadastral Zone B04, comprising a five-storey building (now luxurious Meethaq Hotels Ltd., Jabi, with 53 rooms/suites); Property No. 3130 within Cadastral Zone A04, Asokoro District, FCT, Abuja, comprising terraces; Property No. 3 Rhine Street, Maitama, Abuja (Meethaq Hotels Ltd., Maitama, with 15 rooms); and Plot No. 1241B, Asokoro District (No. 11A Yakubu Gowon Crescent), Asokoro District.
Others are: Shop No. C52, Citiscape – Shariff Plaza, Plot 739, Cadastral Zone A07, Aminu Kano Crescent, Wuse II, FCT, Abuja; No. 4 Ahmadu Bello Way, Nasarawa GRA, Kano; Plot 157, Lamido Nasarawa GRA, Kano; a commercial plaza comprising commercial toilets, laundering facilities, warehouse tanks adjacent to Birnin Kebbi Market; 100 hectares of land along Birnin Kebbi–Jega Road; and another 100 hectares of land along Birnin Kebbi–Jega Road.
Others are: a four-bedroom bungalow at Gesse Phase II, Birnin Kebbi; Shops Nos. A36 and B3, Vegas Mall, Wuse II, Abuja; No. 26 Babbi Drive, BUA Estate, Abuja; No. 27 EFAB Estate, 5th Avenue, 59th Crescent, Gwarimpa, Abuja; a four-bedroom house with two-room boys' quarters at No. 10B Doka Crescent, Abakpa GRA, Kaduna; Plot No. 13, IPENT 7 Estate, Karsana District, Abuja; a bedroom duplex with boys' quarters at No. 12 Yalinga Street, off Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja; two warehouse shops B40 and B46, Wuse Market, Abuja; acquisition of twin houses at Zone E, Apo Legislative Quarters, Cadastral Zone B01, Plot 1401, Gudu District, Abuja; and properties acquired by Khadimiyya for Justice & Development Initiative at the Academic Garden City, Birnin Kebbi, sold by the Federal Housing Authority Mortgage, namely: nine units of three-bedroom bungalows, three units of two-bedroom bungalows, and 5.4 hectares of land.
Also forfeited are the Rayhaan Agro Allied Factory in Kebbi State, including the factory buildings, factory machines and plant units, factory mosque, Rayhaan Mill staff quarters, and the Rayhaan Bustan Building.
Others are assets at Azbir Arena, Kebbi State, including Azbir Hotel, Printing Press, Gallery, Gardens, Mosque, Azbir Clothing, and Azbir Pharmacy and Supermarket.
Other forfeited properties include the Al-Afiya Energy tanker garage opposite Rayhaan University Health Centre along Sani Abacha Bypass Road, Birnin Kebbi; Rayhaan Security House off Sani Abacha Bypass, Birnin Kebbi; an uncompleted two-storey plaza located opposite Central Motor Park (Eastern Park), Birnin Kebbi; Amasdul Oil and Gas Ltd. filling station structure along Sani Abacha Bypass Road, Birnin Kebbi, near Jambali Automobile Workshop; the assets of Zeennoor Hotel at Kabuga Satellite Town, off Gwarzo Road, Kano, with 131 rooms; Zeennoor Mosque at Kabuga Satellite Town, off Gwarzo Road, Kano; and the old Zeennoor Hotel building.
It would be recalled that on January 6, 2026, Justice Emeka Nwite granted the interim forfeiture order following an ex parte motion moved by counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ekele Iheanacho, SAN.
Sequel to the granting of the interim forfeiture order, and in compliance with the order of the court, the EFCC published the interim order in national dailies, inviting interested persons to come forward and show cause why the final forfeiture order should not be granted in favour of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The EFCC subsequently filed a motion for the final forfeiture of all the properties.
Meanwhile, following the publication of the interim order, Mr. Malami, SAN, and 14 other persons, mainly his family members and associates, filed applications to show cause and also urged the court to set aside the interim forfeiture order on the properties. They further challenged the jurisdiction of the court to grant the order and urged it not to grant the final forfeiture order.
The case was heard before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik on May 27, 2026, and the matter was thereafter adjourned for judgment.
Delivering judgment on Wednesday, the court held that the EFCC had sufficiently established that the 48 properties were reasonably suspected to have been acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities, and that the respondents failed to discharge the evidential burden placed on them, as they could not show the legitimate sources of the funds used in acquiring the properties.
The court further held that the respondents merely claimed ownership of the properties without providing proof of how they acquired them with funds from lawful sources.
According to the court, non conviction-based forfeiture proceedings require respondents to adduce evidence showing the lawful sources of the funds used in acquiring the properties, and not merely make bare assertions of ownership.
"You said there are secrets between you and your principal that you can't explain. You are not entitled to keep secrets from your owners. NNPC belongs to the Nigerian people, so it's our business."

🔥 IMAGINE TELLING AN AFRICAN PARENT THIS 😭
A British dad finds out his daughter dropped out of university to SELL ADULT CONTENT.
His first reaction?
Not the money. Not the income.
He talks about her future, reputation, consequences, and how choices today can follow her tomorrow.
Now imagine that same conversation in a Naija home 😭🔥
Before she finishes explaining the £5k/month, you’ll hear about:
* School fees sacrificed
* Family name
* Prayers and expectations
* Legacy
* “What will people say?” 😂
Money can solve problems, but it doesn’t automatically build character, discipline, or purpose.
A quick bag can change your lifestyle.
But your values shape your destiny.
Be honest: how would your parents react if you were in this situation? 👀
