The Digest:

The State Security Service has opened an investigation into former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami after EFCC operatives reportedly discovered arms and ammunition in his Kebbi residence.

Key Points :
  • The SSS is probing former AGF Abubakar Malami over arms found at his Kebbi home.
  • EFCC uncovered the weapons during a financial crime-related search.
  • The arms were handed to the SSS, as possession falls outside EFCC's mandate.
  • Malami, his wife, and son were recently granted bail in an N8.7 billion money laundering case.
  • He remains in Kuje prison, yet to meet bail conditions.
  • Reports allege he is delaying bail perfection to avoid rearrest by the SSS.
  • A court also ordered the interim forfeiture of 57 assets valued at N213.2 billion linked to Malami.
When legal and security investigations converge, the stakes rise beyond corruption to questions of national safety. This case reveals how deep the storm can run when power, property, and alleged peril are intertwined.
