The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied allegations by former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami that his bail was revoked for political reasons.
Malami claimed he was re-arrested due to attending a political gathering in Kebbi state, but the EFCC says he failed to meet the five conditions of his administrative bail.
The EFCC stated that Malami was granted provisional bail on November 28, 2025, with specific requirements, but he hasn’t met any of them.
Malami had requested an adjournment due to ill health, which the EFCC granted, but he didn’t provide a medical report or credible evidence to support his claim.
The anti-graft agency insists it’s apolitical, citing the recent arraignment of a former governor and ruling party member for alleged contract fraud.
The EFCC advises Malami to focus on meeting his bail conditions and cooperating with investigators instead of making false claims.
