The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has set up a special team to investigate transactions linked to the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project and trace properties suspected to be connected to them. The team, supervised by EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede, is considering inviting several prominent Nigerians mentioned in the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration proceedings for questioning, with possible asset forfeiture to follow where sufficient grounds are established. Those expected to come under scrutiny include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, his former wife Jennifer Douglas, former Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman, and former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki, among others. The EFCC is also investigating a $1.74 million transaction involving Dasuki's son and a $500,000 payment to Atiku's ex-wife flagged by the ICC.
