Abubakar Malami (SAN)
A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed January 7 for the ruling on a bail application brought against former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), and two others accused of money laundering.
Justice Emeka Nwite fixed the date after taking arguments from the defence and prosecution lawyers in the matter.
He ordered the remand of Malami, his son, Abdulaziz Malami, and one Hajia Bashir Asabe, a staff of Rahamaniyya Properties Ltd at the Nigerian Correctional Service Centre in Kuje, FCT until the adjourned date.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had alleged that Malami, his son and Asabe, allegedly conspired to conceal the illicit origin of property scattered in choice areas of Abuja, Kebbi and Kano states.
