Malami's Trial: N8.7 Billion Money Laundering Case

Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney General of the Federation, is undergoing trial for alleged money laundering involving N8.7 billion. The trial, taking place at the Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja, resumed on Tuesday, with witness Munawwarah Salisu detailing several high-value transactions linked to Alkausar Farm's account.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting Malami, alongside his wife Hajia Bashir and son Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami, on 16 counts of conspiracy, procurement, disguise, concealment, and laundering of proceeds from unlawful activities. Salisu testified about various cash deposits and transfers made into the account, including N1 million and N2.25 million deposits in June 2018, and multiple inflows from companies like Kalamu Wahid Global Concept and Al-Afiya Energy Limited.

The trial is set to continue on July 17, 2026, as Justice Abdulmalik adjourned the matter.
