The Federal High Court in Abuja has admitted nine exhibits in the ongoing trial of former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami over alleged financial misconduct.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is prosecuting the case, which involves multiple charges linked to alleged laundering of funds amounting to over N8.7 billion.

The exhibits were presented through a bank compliance officer, who detailed several high-value transactions linked to the case.

Among the financial records presented were multiple inflows from corporate

entities, raising questions about the nature and legitimacy of the transactions.

The court proceedings form part of efforts by anti-corruption agencies to strengthen accountability and transparency in public office.

The case has been adjourned to allow for cross-examination of witnesses as the trial continues.

Legal analysts say the outcome of the case could have broader implications for anti-corruption enforcement in the country.
