BREAKING: Malami’s Son Falls Ill, Rushed to Kuje Prison Clinic as EFCC Arraigns Ex-Attorney-General, Son and Wife Over ₦8.7 Billion Money Laundering and Fraud Charges
Abdulaziz Malami, son of former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), was rushed to the Kuje Correctional Centre clinic after reportedly falling ill shortly after being remanded in custody. The development comes on the same day the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Malami, his son, and his fourth wife, Hajia Bashir Asabe, before a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged money laundering and fraud totalling ₦8.71 billion.
The defendants face 16 counts bordering on conspiracy, procurement, concealment and laundering of proceeds of unlawful activities, contrary to the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. The EFCC alleges that Malami used his son and several corporate entities to disguise public funds through bank accounts, loans, Bureau De Change operators and high-value property acquisitions across Abuja, Kano and Kebbi. All three pleaded not guilty and were remanded in Kuje Prison pending a bail hearing fixed for January 2, 2026, as the case proceeds to full trial.
