EFCC Grills Abubakar Malami Again

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has once more taken into custody Nigeria’s former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

Sources confirmed that Nigeria’s former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), was arrested late Monday. By Monday night, Malami was reportedly working to meet bail conditions set by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Investigations by SaharaReporters revealed that Malami was searching for two permanent secretaries on Monday night to serve as sureties in order to fulfill the bail requirements for his release.

“EFCC arrested Abubakar Malami again; he was looking for two Permanent Secretaries for bail conditions on Monday night,” a source privy to the probe said.

This development comes just days after Malamiannounced, on Friday, November 28, that he had been invited by the EFCC to provide clarifications on certain issues.

In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Malami assured Nigerians that he remained a law-abiding citizen and was prepared to honor the commission’s invitation without hesitation.

“I am informing my family and friends that EFCC has invited me to clarify on some issues, and as a citizen of law and order and patriot, I am willing to honor this invitation without any hesitation,” he stated.

Following the invitation, the EFCC grilled the former justice minister over sundry issues after which he was granted bail.

Top sources later revealed to SaharaReporters that Malami was in the EFCC custody on Friday, November 28 and was almost going to spend the night because of the bail conditions given to him.

Malami later released a statement, saying that he had further visits to the EFCC office.

In a post on his official X handle, he alleged that the allegations against him were fabricated.

“In line with my undertaking to keep Nigerians updated on my invitation by EFCC, I give glory to Allah for His divine intervention,” he wrote.

“The engagement was successful and I am eventually released while on an appointment for further engagement as the truth relating to the fabricated allegations against me continue to unfold,” he wrote in a post on Saturday.
