An Abuja High Court has ordered the remand of former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), alongside his wife and son, at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
The court issued the remand order following proceedings related to allegations brought before it, directing that the former justice minister and his family members be held in custody pending further legal actions and investigations.
According to court records, the decision was made to ensure due process and prevent interference with ongoing judicial procedures. The defendants are expected to be arraigned formally once investigations are concluded and relevant charges are filed.
The development marks a significant moment in Nigeria’s legal and political landscape, given Malami’s former role as the nation’s chief law officer. Legal analysts say the case underscores the judiciary’s commitment to accountability and the rule of law, regardless of political status or public office previously held.
