Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has declared that he stands firmly by his record in office, insisting he has no regrets despite the legal troubles trailing him.
Malami, who is currently facing a 16-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering, is being prosecuted alongside his wife, Bashir Asabe, and his son, Abdulaziz.
All three have denied the allegations brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The former minister’s ordeal has seen him move through multiple security detentions, including time in EFCC custody, Kuje Prison, and under the watch of the Department of State Services (DSS).
He was initially released, only to be rearrested shortly after on January 19.
Two days later, he raised concerns about being denied access to his family and legal representatives.
Relief came on February 27 when a Federal High Court in Abuja granted him and his son bail set at N200 million each over separate terrorism-related allegations.
Having now met the bail conditions, Malami has regained his freedom.
Speaking in a recent interview, Malami described his experience as part of a divine plan, saying he accepts everything that has happened but remains determined to clear his name in court.
He also accused security agencies of breaching his constitutional rights, alleging that his homes and business premises were searched without his knowledge or presence.
According to him, the law guarantees individuals the right to witness searches conducted on their property, ensuring transparency in investigations—something he claims was denied in his case.
Despite the legal battles and detention, Malami struck a defiant tone, maintaining that his actions while in office were justified and that he is fully prepared to challenge the charges against him.
