A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has admitted nine documentary exhibits against former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), his wife, Hajia Bashir Asabe, and his son, Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami, in an ongoing money laundering case.
The exhibits were tendered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during the continuation of the prosecution in the alleged multi-billion-naira fraud trial involving the former minister and members of his family.
The EFCC is prosecuting the defendants on a 16-count charge bordering on conspiracy, concealment, and laundering of alleged proceeds of unlawful activities estimated at about ₦8.7 billion.
According to the prosecution, the charges relate to suspicious financial transactions involving multiple companies and accounts allegedly linked to the defendants.
The nine exhibits admitted by the court are mainly banking and financial documents, which were presented through a compliance officer from a commercial bank who testified as a prosecution witness.
The documents reportedly include account opening forms, statements of accounts, and transaction records connected to individuals and corporate entities mentioned in the case
During testimony, the prosecution witness explained that the bank responded to an EFCC request by providing both electronic and hard copies of financial records tied to the defendants and related companies.
He further outlined several transactions reflected in the documents, including large inflows running into hundreds of millions and billions of naira over a period of years.
