A Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled January 7 for ruling on bail applications by former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami SAN, his wife Bashir Asabe, and son Abubakar Abdulaziz in an EFCC money laundering probe.
Justice Emeka Nwite set the date after counsels Joseph Daudu SAN (defence) and Ekele Iheanacho SAN (EFCC) adopted processes and argued positions.
The EFCC charged them (FHC/ABJ/CR/700/2025) with conspiring to launder billions via suspicious bank deals and property buys in Abuja, Kano, Kebbi from 2015-2025, Malami’s AGF tenure under ex-President Buhari.
Insight: Allegations breach Money Laundering Acts (2011/2022 as amended); part of 2025+ post-Buhari crackdowns (20+ ex-officials probed), spotlighting high-stakes bail amid public anti-graft push.
