Exclusive: Documents Reveal Malami’s Bail Revocation Was Not Linked To Political Gathering

Newly obtained official documents from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have directly contradicted former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN)’s claim that his administrative bail was revoked because of his attendance at a political event in Kebbi State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The records, which outline the terms of the provisional bail granted to Malami on November 28, 2025, contain no restrictions on political activities or media engagements.

The documents confirm that Malami’s detention was due to his failure to meet the verifiable conditions of his administrative bail, a fact reiterated by the EFCC.

Malami was granted administrative bail following his interrogation in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation. The conditions he acknowledged and signed were procedural, designed to ensure his availability for the investigation.

Key Bail Conditions Included:

• Provision of two credible sureties who are federal civil servants in Abuja, submitting detailed documentation including letters of appointment and identity cards.

• Sureties must demonstrate ownership of property within the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), supported by valid Certificates of Occupancy.

• Deposit of all international, official, and diplomatic passports with the EFCC.

• Regular reporting on specified dates and times until the investigation is concluded.

Sources reviewing the documents emphasized that claims suggesting restrictions on political participation are completely unsupported by the official records.

The documents also highlight delays in Malami’s compliance:

• He was initially scheduled for further interrogation on December 1, 2025.

• On December 4, 2025, he requested a deferment citing ill-health, which was accommodated despite his bail conditions remaining unfulfilled.

• He was subsequently re-invited on December 8, 2025, and detained until all bail requirements were satisfied.

Legal analysts advise that Malami focus on meeting the conditions he formally agreed to and cooperating with investigators, rather than making claims that misrepresent the official terms of his release.
