According to a report by Daily Post, Madaki reportedly acquired several properties worth billions of Naira during his term before retiring and when he was recalled back by Magu.

The top official of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abubakar Madaki, has been allegedly caught up in massive corruption practices.

Madaki was reportedly indicted for corrupt practices after documents showing huge purchases of properties came up. Madaki retired as a Superintendent of police in 2009 before he was recalled back by the current EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu.

He allegedly bought a N450 million house in Wuse 2 and another house for a female friend in Wuse zone 4, worth N200 million.

He allegedly also bought land worth N10 billion naira in Nasarawa's state. Madaki also reportedly aquired the following properties in the last 10 years: January 2014, ​Madaki ​allegedly ​purchased over 60.59 hectares in Angwan Chediya, Karu LGA in Nasarawa state.

In February 2010, he ​allegedly ​purchased over 61 hectares in Angwan Monday, Karu LGA, Nasarawa state. In June 2016, ​Madaki​ allegedly​​ purchased over 34.38 hectares in Angwan Sarkin Mada along Angwan Chero Road, Karu LGA, Nasarawa state.

On August 2016, he ​allegedly ​purchased over 16.96 hectares at Gunduma along Madubi road, Karshi development area, Karu, LGC, Nasarawa state. ​​In total, Madaki​ allegedly​ purchased 474 hectares of land​, despite being​ on a police superintendent’s salary. There are words out that the Chairman ​of​ the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Professor Itsey Sagay​ has been petitioned by concerned staff of EFCC. Sagay has reportedly ordered a probe of the case.

EFCC is however yet to confirm that such scandal occurred in it's organisation. The EFCC head of media publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, when he was contacted, said he has no knowledge of the case or the incriminating documents. Uwujaren said: “I don’t know of any documents of the acquisition​s​ you are talking about. I only speak on what I know.” Uwujaren was asked if EFCC would take the due process if any of its officials were to be found guilty of corruption. He replied: “Then the law will take its course. But at this moment, I’m not aware of any document.”
