EFCC Detains Former AGF Abubakar Malami Over Bail Breach
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, into custody for failing to meet conditions of a previously granted bail. EFCC sources confirmed that Malami will remain detained until he fulfills the requirements. Investigators revealed that Malami faces multiple allegations, including money laundering, abuse of office, and terrorism financing, with a total of 18 separate offenses under review. The commission is continuing to uncover additional financial dealings as the probe progresses. Malami had earlier described his initial engagement with the EFCC as “productive” and insisted that the allegations were fabricated. The former minister communicated updates on the investigation through social media, highlighting his continued cooperation with authorities while denying wrongdoing. The development has heightened public attention on high-profile corruption cases in Nigeria, underlining ongoing scrutiny of former officials and accountability efforts.
