Ex-AG Malami's N8.7 Billion Fraud Trial: Court Admits Key Bank Documents

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik has admitted nine key exhibits in the ongoing trial of former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami (SAN), his wife, and son, accused of laundering N8.7 billion.
The documents were submitted through a Zenith Bank compliance officer, who confirmed the bank provided account records linked to the defendants and several associated companies.
The entities involved include Rayhaan Hotels Limited, Nashab Limited, Golden Age Global Ventures, and others.
Defence counsel raised objections over document dates, but the court overruled and admitted all exhibits.
The case is adjourned to May 13, 2026.
