A federal high court sitting in abuja has ordered the forfeiture of multiple properties belonging to the former AGF Abubakar malami. #fyp #nigeria #malami #foryoupage❤️❤️ #mrabdulreacts A federal high court sitting in abuja has ordered the forfeiture of multiple properties belonging to the former AGF Abubakar malami. Now, the EFCC brought the case. The judge granted it. And the properties, hotels, duplexes, universities, factories, plazas, warehouses, shopping units, residential estates span across Abuja, Kebbi, Kano and Kaduna. Total value of 212 billion naira. Let me see that again. 212 billion naira from one man in eight years of being attorney general. Now, I want you to understand the full scale of what we are talking about here. Because when we say 48 properties, say 48 properties worth 212 billion naira, it can sound like just a number. So let me something real. Now, in Kebbi state, for example, Malami's own home state, the place he, people he came from, people he came from, 67.6% of school age children are currently out of school. We are not talking about 10% or 20%. Nearly seven out of every 10 children in Kebbi state between the ages of 6 and 15 are not in a classroom. Kebbi holds the school rate of any state in Nigeria. The entire country. And their son, their own son, was sitting in Abuja allegedly accumulating 212 billion naira worth of properties using public funds while those children sat at home with no school to go. Now, a standard three classroom block with basic amenities in Nigeria cost somewhere between 15 million and 15 million and 25 million naira to build properly. Let's use 20 million naira, you know, as our middle, you know, estimate. 12 billion naira divided into 20 million gives you over 10,000 classroom blocks, you know, in one state that desperately needs them. From money that allegedly sat in hotels and luxury duplexes instead. Or look at it this way. 212 billion naira could fund a complete primary healthcare center in every single local government in Nigeria, all 774 of them. And still, you have billions left over. This is not a number. This is a choice. Somebody made a choice about where going to go and didn't go to the children of Kebbi. But wait. Among the 48 properties being forfeited, there is a an actual mosque, built with what the court essentially said are funds that cannot be legitimately accounted for. Now, to sit down for a second and think about this, because it deserves to be said clearly. So you allegedly loot public funds, money belonging to millions of children can't go to school, build a mosque with it. For what, exactly? So God looks and forgives what happened, you know, to get it there. So the community sees the structure and associate your name with piety. Because the same building the mosque in the name of is very clear about where wealth comes from and how it must be used. You cannot clean stolen money by constructing a place of worship with it. That is not how any of this works. And the fact that it's among the properties being forfeited, tells you everything about the intention behind it. The judge in said something that is the most important line in this entire story. She ruled that the issue before not who owns the property, but how legitimate are the funds used to acquire them. So it's not who owns it, it is how legitimate are the funds. The chief law officer of the federation, officer of the federation, entire job was to protect Nigeria's legal system, allegedly could not explain where the money to buy 212 billion worth of assets came from. Hotels, came from. Hotels, a university, a radio station, an agro allied factory, two sons houses each worth a print, a printing press, a pharmacy and a mosque, amongst other multiple things. Allegedly built on money. That has no legitimate explanation. Not operating in a vacuum. He was attorney general under a government. He had colleagues, he had superiors. Does not allow one man to move this kind in complete darkness. Somewhere, someone knew, somewhere, someone looked away, somewhere, checks and balances that should have caught this either broke down or we are deliberately switched off. And if you think Malami was doing this in the last government, I genuinely don't tell you tell me one administration that has come and gone in Nigeria without a story. Exactly. You know, like emerging from it. Every government, every transition, every handover out comes, another name, another another number that makes your jaw drops. But here's the part of the make your blood run cold. So, Abubakar Malami, a man whose 48 properties worth 212 billion naira have just been ordered forfeited by a court, is reportedly a leading candidate to become the next governor of Kebbi state. Hear that again. He's most likely to be the next governor of Kebbi state. Talking about going to prison, not exile, not not accountability. The governorship. More a bigger office, access to even more public resources. Welcome to Nigeria. In Nigeria, the reward for allegedly abusing public trust at the highest level is often, you know, the opportunity to be handed even more public trust. And the people for him are the same people whose children couldn't go to school while he was building hotels, universities and mosques with the money he cannot account for. This is what I say the problem in Nigeria goes deeper than the thieves. The system, the political culture, the ethnic loyalties, the religious sentiments that get weaponized every election season for a man to walk from a court ordered forfeiture straight into a gubernatorial campaign. And some people will celebrate him. Some people will some people will say he is being persecuted. They told us Nigeria was broke. They told us there was no money for schools, no money for hospitals, no money for infrastructure. They looked at us and said, the government, you simply could not could not afford to give your children a decent education. And then a court order drops 48 properties worth 48 properties worth 212 billion naira from one man in eight years. Nigeria is not broke. Nigeria has never been broke. Nigeria has a very specific and very specific and very deliberate problem. People in power treating public funds as personal inheritance while telling the rest of us to manage. And the circle continues because our outrage doesn't. A day. It fills the comment section for 48 hours. And then we and the next person in power watches the outrage come and go like weather and then concludes real consequence. The ones we catch are not the whole story. They are the fraction that surfaces. The rest stays underwater, better hidden, better protected, with stronger connections. So next time a government official tells you there is no money, remember these 48 properties. Remember the mosques built with funds that the court couldn't validate. Of Kebbi who needed classrooms while hotels were being constructed in their name. And remember that the man at all this may very well campaign trail soon, shaking hands. Making promises, asking for your vote in Nigeria. That is not irony. That is just another Tuesday. This is mister Abdul reacts.
