Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, clashed with security operatives on Monday during an operation at his residence in Abuja.

The incident occurred at Malami’s Maitama residence shortly after a meeting with former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, who had visited earlier in the day.

According to the sources said Atiku spent about an hour at the residence before departing.

Witnesses disclosed that DSS operatives had taken strategic positions around the property during the visit, but only moved in after Atiku left.

In a video that emerged online, Malami was seen questioning the legitimacy of the operatives’ presence and repeatedly demanding to see a valid court order authorising their actions.

In response, the security officials said they had the right to mark the property, claiming it was under investigation, but Malami pushed back, arguing that any such order permitting their actions had already expired.

He further challenged the operatives to present clear legal backing for their actions.

He asked, “Where is your court order? Are you coming here to embarrase me?

“You said the property is under probation, is it still under probation when the order has elapsed?

“The order you are referring to is not specific. It does not give you clear directives to come and mark my property.

“This matter is already pending in court. Show me where it is stated that you have the authority to be here.”
