Court Grants N200 Million Bail To Abubakar Malami, Wife And Son Pending Trial

Wale busari03 mins

A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, his wife, Asabe Bashir, and their son, Abdulaziz Malami. Presiding Judge Joyce Abdulmalik on Friday set bail at N200 million for each defendant, with two sureties of equal value. One surety is required to submit title documents for a property located in either Maitama or Asokoro, Abuja. The court also ordered that the defendants deposit their international passports. Until these conditions are fulfilled, the Malami family will remain in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS). Case Background The family was re-arraigned on Friday following a reassignment of the case. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged them with 16 counts, alleging that between 2015 and 2025 they conspired to launder proceeds from unlawful activities. The agency claims the defendants used personal and corporate bank accounts to conceal the source and ownership of over N8.1 billion. According to the EFCC, significant sums were routed through companies linked to the Malami family, including Metropolitan Auto Tech Limited and Meethaq Hotels Limited, using multiple commercial banks. The funds were reportedly structured to hide their illicit origin and evade regulatory oversight. Part of the money, including approximately N600 million, was allegedly held as cash collateral for bank facilities, despite the defendants allegedly being aware—or reasonably expected to be aware—that the funds were proceeds of unlawful activities. The EFCC further accused the Malami family of using the money to acquire high-value residential and commercial properties in Abuja, Kano, and Kebbi states, either directly or through proxies, in an effort to disguise ownership. The agency claims the defendants conspired to maintain control of illicit funds, acquire assets indirectly, and conceal the true source of the money through a network of financial transactions and corporate entities.

Wale busari01 mins

The Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel (MDPIP) has suspended three doctors for alleged professional negligence in the treatment of 21-month-old Nkanu Esege, son of acclaimed Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie. The doctors affected are Dr Tunde Majekodunmi, medical director of Euracare Multi Specialist Hospital in Lagos, Dr Titus Ogundare, and Dr Atinuke Uwajeh. They are prohibited from practising medicine in Nigeria pending the outcome of proceedings before the Medical and Dental Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal. In a statement issued Tuesday, MDPIP secretary Dr Enejo Abdu said the panel found a prima facie case of professional misconduct against the three doctors related to the management of Nkanu. The investigation also identified ten other doctors with a prima facie case to answer, while eight were cleared. Nkanu passed away on January 7 after being transferred from Atlantis Hospital to Euracare for diagnostic tests and preparatory procedures ahead of a planned emergency medical evacuation.
