Abuja Court Adjourns Former AGF Abubakar Malami’s Bail Hearing to January 7 Over ₦8.7 Billion Money Laundering Case
The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the bail hearing of former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, to January 7, 2026. Malami, currently remanded at Kuje Correctional Centre, faces alleged money laundering charges alongside his son, Abdulaziz Malami, SAN, and one of his wives, Bashir Asabe.
The defendants are accused of laundering ₦8.7 billion through various accounts and corporate entities, using some of the funds to acquire multiple high-value properties in Abuja, Kano, and Birnin Kebbi. The EFCC alleges that the offences occurred between 2015 and 2025, largely during Malami’s tenure as Attorney General.
The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/700/2025, includes allegations of concealing and retaining proceeds of unlawful activities, with the EFCC citing the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. The court initially scheduled the hearing for January 2 but later adjourned it for procedural reasons.
