EFCC Compiles Charges as Malami Remains in Custody

Hausa

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is compiling charges against Abubakar Malami (SAN), former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, following his detention announced on December 10, 2025. Malami has provided a statement explaining the reasons for his continued custody amid the investigation.

Former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami (SAN) remains in EFCC custody as the agency advances in compiling charges related to alleged financial misconduct during his tenure from 2015 to 2023. In a recent statement, Malami addressed procedural delays in his release.

The investigation underscores Nigeria's ongoing anti-corruption drive targeting high-profile officials. While specifics of the charges are undisclosed, sources indicate they are at an advanced stage. No arraignment timeline has been announced, and the EFCC has refrained from further comment.

This update follows initial reports of Malami's detention on December 10, 2025.
