Court remands ex-AGF Malami, son, co-defendant in Kuje prison over multibillion-naira fraud

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN), his son Abdulaziz Malami and a co-defendant, Asabe Bashir, in custody over an alleged multibillion-naira money laundering case. Justice Emeka Nwite directed that Malami and his son be held at Kuje Correctional Centre while Bashir is to be kept at Suleja Correctional Centre, pending the hearing of their bail applications.​ The defendants were earlier arraigned by the EFCC on a 16-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering, unlawful acquisition of assets and conspiracy, to which they all pleaded not guilty. The judge declined an oral request for bail, ruling that it would be unfair to grant bail before the prosecution files a formal response to the written bail application already before the court.​ Justice Nwite said granting bail at this stage […]

Ex-AGF Malami, son arraigned on N8.7bn money laundering charges, plead not guilty

Former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN) and his son have been arraigned by the EFCC on 16 counts of alleged money laundering running into about N8.7bn, with both pleading not guilty before the Federal High Court in Abuja. The charges allege they used companies like Metropolitan Auto Tech Ltd, Rayhaan Hotels Ltd and Meethaq Hotels Ltd to conceal the illicit origin of funds and acquire properties across Abuja, Kano and Kebbi between 2015 and 2025.​ Prosecutors say over N1.01bn was allegedly hidden in a Sterling Bank account between July 2022 and June 2025, with another N600m used as collateral for a N500m bank loan to Rayhaan Hotels in 2021. Further counts accuse them of disguising N500m used to buy a Maitama luxury duplex and controlling over N1.04bn and N1.36bn through Meethaq Hotels’ Union Bank account, allegedly knowing the […]

Court rejects Nnamdi Kanu’s bid to leave Sokoto prison

The Federal High Court in Abuja has rejected an application by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu seeking to be moved from the Sokoto Correctional Centre to a custodial facility closer to Abuja. Kanu had asked to be transferred to Kuje Custodial Centre in the Federal Capital Territory or Keffi Custodial Centre in Nasarawa State.​ He made the request through the Legal Aid Council in an ex parte application, arguing that a transfer would help him effectively pursue his appeal. In the alternative, he asked to be moved to any facility within the court’s jurisdiction, including Suleja or Keffi.​ Justice James Omotosho declined to grant the request on Monday, ruling that such an order could not be made without hearing from the Federal Government. The judge held that the government and other parties must be given the chance to respond before any […]
