Malami

In an update to his detention reported on December 10, 2025, former Nigerian Attorney-General Abubakar Malami has denied Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegations of operating 46 bank accounts linked to recovered loot from Gen. Sani Abacha. The EFCC states detention results from unmet bail conditions in probes into money laundering, abuse of office, and terrorism financing, while supporters like Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress decry political persecution. Malami claims only six known accounts and full cooperation.
