A Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, presided over by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, on Monday admitted nine documentary exhibits in the ongoing trial of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
Malami is standing trial alongside his wife, Hajia Bashir Asabe, and his son, Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami, on an amended 16-count charge.
The EFCC alleges the defendants conspired to launder N8,713,923,759.49, contrary to the Money Laundering Act, 2022.
The exhibits, including account opening documents and statements from Zenith Bank, were tendered through compliance officer Mashelia Arhyel Bata.
The witness detailed significant inflows into accounts linked to the former Minister and his firms, including a single N622.5 million transfer from Rayhaan Bustan Agro Allied Limited in June 2022 and multiple N250 million deposits from Rayhaan Hotels Limited.
Following the testimony, Justice Abdulmalik adjourned the matter until May 13, 2026, to allow the defense team, led by J.B. Daudu, SAN, to study the evidence for cross-examination.
