The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has detained former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), after he failed to meet the bail conditions earlier granted to him.
Senior EFCC officials confirmed on Tuesday that Malami will remain in custody until he satisfies the terms.
One official said his arrest was strictly for breaching bail conditions, while another disclosed that he is under investigation for 18 offences, including money laundering, abuse of office and terrorism financing.
Investigators are reportedly still tracing more transactions and have yet to determine the full financial scope.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale was unavailable for comment.
Malami had earlier stated on X that he was interrogated on November 29 and described the session as “successful,” insisting the allegations against him were fabricated.
He said he had been released at the time and was asked to return for further questioning as the probe continues.
