EFCC Re-Arraigns Ex-AGF Malami and Family on Charges

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arraigned former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami, alongside his wife and son, Abdulaziz Malami, on money laundering charges. The case was presented before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, who is overseeing the new trial after the previous judge, Justice Obiora Egwuatu, withdrew from the case.

The defendants face 16 counts related to alleged money laundering, with the EFCC's counsel informing the court of the scheduled session. During the proceedings, the defense requested corrections to the sum listed in counts 11 and 12, which were amended to N325 million and N120 million, respectively.

The defense lawyers did not object to these amendments, and Justice Abdulmalik granted the oral application. The Malamis pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The case was previously withdrawn on February 12, and the current arraignment is marked under FHC/ABJ/CR/700/2025, with a bail amount set at N500 million.
