Nigeria’s former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has been charged with 16 counts of money laundering and conspiracy involving billions of Naira

The charges, brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and lodged at the Federal High Court in Abuja, accuse Malami, his son Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami, and Hajia Bashir Asabe of concealing the origins of funds allegedly derived from unlawful activities between 2015 and 2025. The commission says the trio used corporate accounts and property purchases to disguise transactions worth more than $5.5 million.
