Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has denied allegations by the EFCC that he operates 46 bank accounts or has links to funds recovered from the late Gen. Sani Abacha. His media aide, Bello Doka, said Malami has only six known accounts and no connection to Abacha loot.
Doka challenged the EFCC to publicly substantiate its claims, insisting Malami was never confronted with such allegations during interrogation. He said the former minister would continue to cooperate with investigators, describing the claims as “ridiculous and baseless.”
The EFCC rejected allegations of political persecution, stating Malami’s detention followed his failure to meet five bail conditions attached to provisional administrative bail granted on November 28, 2025. The commission said its actions were investigation-driven, not linked to Malami’s political activities.
