Ex-AGF Malami Under Fresh DSS Probe After Arms Reportedly Found in Kebbi Home

The Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), is facing a fresh investigation over the arms and ammunition found in his house.

According to reports, the arms were uncovered at his Kebbi country home by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during a search.

The anti-graft agency handed the weapon to the Department of State Service (DSS) for a comprehensive probe, citing a lack of constitutional authority to investigate the possession.

The reports indict that the number of arms and ammunition could not be independently verified, but it was gathered that they are high in number to attract a full DSS investigation.

Last week, Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Malami, his wife, Asabe Bashir and son, Abdulaziz Malami, were granted bail in the sum of N500million and two sureties each in the ongoing fraud trial.

Malami, who was granted bail last week along with his sons, Abdulaziz, Abiru-Rahman, and others, is still in the Kuje correctional centre, having been unable to perfect his bail conditions.
