Court Admits Evidence in Malami Money Laundering Case
The Federal High Court in Abuja has admitted nine documentary exhibits in the ongoing money laundering trial of former Attorney General and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami, his wife Hajia Bashir Asab, and their son Abdulaziz Malami. The trial, presided over by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, involves allegations of money laundering amounting to N8,713,923,759.49, contravening the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) presented the documents, which included bank statements and transaction records from Zenith Bank PLC, detailing significant inflows and outflows from accounts linked to Malami and associated companies. The court admitted the documents after overruling objections from the defense counsel, J.B.
Daudu, SAN. The trial has been adjourned until May 13, 2026, to allow the defense time to study the exhibits for cross-examination.
