Former Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, is set to spend a third night in Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, custody due to his inability to meet the bail conditions set by investigators.
Malami, who is being investigated by the EFCC over allegation of terrorism financing and operating 46 bank accounts, has, meanwhile, dismissing them as politically driven fabrications aimed at damaging his reputation.
The conditions include the seizure of his international passport, effectively preventing him from travelling out of the country, and a directive that he report daily to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja for questioning over a specified period, initially fixed at 30 days. He is also expected to present two serving permanent secretaries as sureties among other conditions set by the investigating team.
The denials were contained in a statement by his Media Assistant, Mohammed Doka, who maintained that the allegations making the rounds were false, mischievous and unsupported by any official documents.
