The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami (SAN) and his son Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami at the Kuje Correctional Centre. They pleaded not guilty to a 16-count money laundering charge filed by the EFCC.
The EFCC alleges Malami and his co-defendants laundered funds between 2015 and 2023, violating money laundering laws. Malami’s defence team had argued for bail, but the judge ordered remand pending bail application hearing.
Malami has denied allegations, previously calling the probe politically motivated. The case follows weeks of detention and legal battles with the EFCC.
