EFCC and Nigerian Prison Officials Clash Over Security During Former AGF Abubakar Malami’s Court Appearance
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) reportedly clashed at the Federal High Court in Abuja over security responsibilities during the court appearance of former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN.
The confrontation arose amid a dispute over which agency should control security at the court entrance. Journalists were subjected to clearance checks, and some were denied entry due to the courtroom reaching capacity.
Malami, along with his son and one of his wives, was arraigned on December 30 on a 16-count charge including alleged money laundering, unlawful asset acquisition, and conspiracy. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and the court ordered their remand at Kuje Correctional Centre pending a bail application hearing on January 2.
Malami served as Attorney-General from 2015 to 2023 under former President Buhari and was a key figure in the administration.
