Malami Money Laundering Trial: Court Accepts Key Bank Documents As Evidence by AnonPoet(op): 8:07pm On Apr 21

A Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja has admitted nine documentary exhibits into evidence in the ongoing money laundering trial of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), his wife, Hajia Bashir Asabe, and his son, Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami.

Presiding Justice Joyce Abdulmalik accepted the documents, which were presented by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as part of its prosecution of the former minister on charges valued at N8.7 billion.

The EFCC is pursuing the defendants on an amended 16-count charge that includes conspiracy, procurement, disguising, concealment, and laundering of proceeds from unlawful activities — all in violation of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.

The exhibits were introduced through the fourth prosecution witness, Mashelia Arhyel Bata, a Compliance Officer at Zenith Bank Plc. Testifying before the court, Bata revealed that he had received a formal request from the EFCC for financial documents connected to accounts belonging to the defendants and several associated companies. He confirmed that the bank provided both digital and physical copies of the requested records, covering accounts tied to firms including Rayhaan Hotels Limited, Rayhaan Bustan Agro Allied Limited, Nashab Limited, Golden Age Global Ventures, and Rahamaniyya Properties Limited.

The documents, spanning the period between July 19, 2024 and March 12, 2026, were admitted as Exhibits D1 through D9. Defence counsel J. B. Daudu (SAN) raised an initial objection, noting the clustering of dates around March, though the court proceeded to admit the exhibits. The witness subsequently elaborated on the details of the transactions contained in the records under further questioning by prosecution counsel Ekele Iheanacho (SAN).

Justice Abdulmalik has adjourned the case to May 13, 2026, when the trial is expected to continue.

Malami should be given long sentences if found guilty of corruption charges against him.

It took late President Buhari almost a year to appoint saints as Ministers.

Buhari's 8 years in power had no meaningful impact in the life of ordinary Nigerians.

Electricity, Aviation, Security, Health, Education, FCT administration, Humanitarian ministry were all entrenched in corruption.

Lordviccodaguru & mannabbqrillz what do you guys have to say🎤?

Malami deserves no pity though sane Nigerians know his travails are borne out of opposition to Tinubu's presidency not any genuine reason to fight corruption.
During Buhari's reign, he allegedly was the hears, eyes and (heartbeat) enforcer of the cabal. Trampled and violated the same institution he is seeking justice and solace from.
Selected judgement at will to obey and trash the ones he wanted.
Karma came to fast for him.

The present actors will find their own karma if they don't correct and strength our institutions to be above corruption and executive interference.

Malami does not have conscience and the fear of God. Oga Malami, please answer these questions. Where are you going with all these?
Where did you get all this money in less than eight years?
Where are your industries?
How many cases did you do and how much were you paid since you started practicing law?
Fear your creator as you will account for a single kobo on the day of reckoning.
Haba this is too much na.
And you still want to become the governor of Kebbi in 2027 and some gullible people are encouraging him. Chai, how did we get here, Nigerians😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
