Abubakar Malami
By Abdullahi Abubakar
Fresh trouble seems to be looming around the former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami (SAN).
Malami who is yet to perfect his bail conditions may face terrorism financing charges after perfecting his bail.
MATIONAL WAVES gathered there are fresh investigation into arms and ammunition allegedly discovered in his residence in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
Malami is facing a separate and serious probe by the Department of State Services (DSS) following the discovery of the arms at his Kebbi country home., The Nation reports.
Meanwhile, operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) uncovered the arms and ammunition during a search of Malami’s residence.
However, because the investigation of illegal arms possession falls outside the EFCC’s statutory mandate, the anti-graft agency reportedly handed over the weapons to the DSS for a comprehensive investigation.
The Nation reports that the quantity of arms and ammunition recovered could not be immediately confirmed. However, sources said the number was substantial enough to warrant a full-scale DSS investigation.
Malami, who was granted bail last week alongside his son, Abdulaziz, and wife, Asabe Bashir, remains at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja, having failed to meet the bail conditions imposed by the court.
Recall that SaharaReporters exclusively reported Malami was deliberately delaying the perfection of his bail in order to avoid immediate arrest by the DSS over the arms-related investigation.
