BREAKING: Abuja Court Dismisses Former AGF Abubakar Malami’s Bail Application As EFCC Intensifies Probe Over Alleged $16.9million Abacha Loot Scam

An Abuja court has dismissed a bail application filed by former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), challenging his detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The anti-graft agency confirmed that Justice Babangida Hassan of the Federal Capital Territory Court declined the request for bail. The ruling comes amid ongoing EFCC investigations into multiple petitions accusing Malami of abuse of office, money laundering and alleged involvement in a $16.9 million legal fees fraud linked to the recovery of the late General Sani Abacha’s loot.
