ADC, EFCC trade tackles over Malami’s detention

Malami

The African Democratic Congress has warned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against politicising its anti-graft war, saying that doing so amounts to corruption.

The party faulted the revocation of the bail earlier granted to the former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, by the EFCC, questioning the political neutrality of the agency.

However, the EFCC said Malami’s detention was not political, explaining that the former minister has yet to meet a new bail condition.

According to the EFCC, Malami was granted administrative bail after a brief interrogation on November 28, 2025, pending the conclusion of investigations and possible arraignment in court. Punch
