Court Admits Evidence in Malami Family Fraud Case
The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, admitted nine documentary exhibits against former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami, his wife Hajia Bashir Asab, and son Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting the trio on a 16-count amended charge involving conspiracy to launder 8,713,923,759.49 Naira, allegedly derived from unlawful activities.
The documents were tendered by the fourth prosecuting witness, Mashelia Arhyel Bata, who detailed the role of Zenith Bank's compliance office in the investigation. The exhibits, labeled D1 to D9, were confirmed for identification and admitted despite defense objections.
The trial is adjourned to May 13, 2026, for further cross-examination, with the defense requesting time to review the new evidence presented.
