Bank representatives, BDC operators to testify against ex-AGF Abubakar Malami

Some bank officials and Bureau De Change operators have been lined up as witnesses in the alleged money laundering case against former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.

This was revealed in court documents filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and sighted on Wednesday.

The documents show that the EFCC plans to rely on testimonies from financial institutions and foreign exchange operators as part of its case against the former justice minister and other defendants.

The development comes weeks after reports surfaced that Malami is under investigation for about 18 alleged offences. The allegations include money laundering and abuse of office during his time as Attorney General and Minister of Justice.
Malami served in the role for several years before leaving office in 2023.

As of the time of filing this report, Malami has not made any public response to the allegations. The EFCC has also maintained that investigations into the matter are ongoing.
