The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arraigned former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami, along with his wife, Asabe Bashir, and their son, Abdulaziz, on charges of money laundering.
The case was brought before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja after a reassignment from previous judges.
During the hearing, the EFCC corrected the sums in two counts, reducing N325 billion to N325 million and N120 billion to N120 million.
All three defendants pleaded not guilty to the 16-count charge.
Malami and his son had been held at Kuje Correctional Centre, while his wife was at Suleja Correctional Centre, before being released on bail of N500 million each with two sureties.
The case, originally filed in December 2025, has seen multiple judicial reassignments, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny of high-profile corruption cases in Nigeria.
