A Federal High Court has granted bail of ₦500 million to the son and wife of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, who were recently arraigned alongside him in a widely-followed criminal matter. The bail terms include strict conditions such as the surrender of travel documents and the provision of reliable sureties, ensuring their appearance at all future court proceedings.
The ruling comes amid ongoing legal actions involving allegations that have drawn significant national attention, with the court balancing the rights of the accused against the gravity of the charges. By granting bail, the judge affirmed the principle that individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty, while also emphasising the need for accountability and due process.
Legal observers note that such bail decisions in high-profile cases signal the judiciary’s commitment to upholding legal standards and fair treatment under the law. The Malami family members will now await the next stages of the legal process under court supervision as the matter continues.
