EFCC Refuses to Release Ex-AGF Malami Despite Court Order, Allegations of Human Rights Violations

Abubakar Malami, former Attorney General of Nigeria, was granted bail by the Abuja High Court on December 23, 2025. However, the EFCC is reportedly refusing to release him, with Malami's media aide, Bello Doka, accusing the anti-corruption agency of illegally detaining Malami and violating due process.

Despite the court order, Malami remains in detention, sparking allegations of human rights violations and undermining the justice system. The EFCC is accused of disobeying court orders and engaging in a media trial against Malami.
