Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, alongside his son, Abubakar Abdulaziz Malami, and another individual, has pleaded not guilty to a 16-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering.

The defendants were arraigned on Tuesday before the Federal High Court in Abuja, where prosecutors accused them of unlawful acquisition and concealment of funds. All three defendants denied the charges when they were read in court.

The matter has been adjourned as the court prepares to consider the prosecution’s evidence and fix further dates for the continuation of trial.
