BREAKING: Ex-AGF Malami, wife, son remanded in Kuje prison
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered that former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre pending the hearing of his bail application.
Justice Emeka Nwite also directed that Malami’s co-defendants, his son, Abubakar Malami, and one of his wives, Bashir Asabe, be remanded at the same facility.
The order followed submissions from the defence team, led by Joseph Daudu (SAN), and the prosecution counsel, Ekele Iheneacho (SAN), as the court prepared to consider the defendants’ bail requests.
In the charge, the EFCC alleged that the defendants conspired at various times to conceal, retain and disguise proceeds of unlawful activities amounting to several billions of naira.
The commission further alleged that the offences, which span several years, involved the use of companies and bank accounts to launder funds, the retention of cash as collateral for loans, and the acquisition of high-value properties in Abuja, Kano and other locations.
The EFCC also claimed that some of the alleged offences were committed while Malami was serving as Attorney-General of the Federation, contrary to the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended) and the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022.
