Picture a former Attorney General, his wife, and son walking free on mega bail amid EFCC’s explosive money laundering charges—over N7 billion in shady deals tied to his Buhari-era reign. Is justice playing favorites or just following the rules?
Justice Emeka Nwite at Abuja’s Federal High Court granted N500 million bail apiece Wednesday, dismissing EFCC objections as “speculative”—two sureties each with prime FCT properties (Asokoro, Maitama, Gwarimpa), passports surrendered, no travel without nod.
EFCC’s 16-count charge (FHC/ABJ/CR/700/2025) accuses Malami, son Abubakar Abdulaziz, wife Hajia Bashir Asabe, and Rahamaniyya Properties of concealing billions from 2015-2025 via bank scams, luxury Abuja/Kano/Kebbi properties—like N1bn+ through Sterling, N600m Rayhaan collateral, Maitama duplexes, Hamonia/Meethaq hotels.
Defendants stay jailed at Kuje/Suleja till bail perfection, photos deposited, sureties verified—trial kicks off Feb 17. EFCC preps bank reps, intel insiders (Folarin Dare, Chinedu Eneanya) to expose the web.
