A Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the bail application ruling for former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, his wife Hajia Bashir Asabe, and son Abubakar Abdulaziz to January 7, 2026.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had charged them with money laundering, alleging they concealed billions of naira through bank accounts and property acquisitions in Abuja, Kano, and Kebbi states between 2015 and 2025.
The anti-graft agency claimed Malami, Asabe, and Abdulaziz conspired to disguise the origin of funds, acquire properties indirectly, and retain sums they knew were proceeds of unlawful activities, violating Money Laundering Acts of 2011 and 2022.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the 16-count charge.
