The African Democratic Congress has revealed that former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, visited former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, to express support over his ongoing legal proceedings.
The party disclosed this in a post on Tuesday, stating, “HE Peter Obi visits Abubakar Malami SAN to express support over his recent experiences with the EFCC, DSS and subsequent court proceedings by the Federal High Court FCT.”
Details of the meeting, including the duration and discussions held, have not been made public. Some reports suggest that the meeting took place in Abuja.
Malami is currently facing two separate cases, including allegations of terrorism financing and illegal firearms possession, as well as an N8.7 billion fraud and money laundering case.
When the matter was called, Malami and his wife were present in court, while their son joined them shortly before the court stood the matter down for an hour. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik admitted several documents as exhibits, including account statements and letters from banks, as the trial proceeded.
The case was adjourned to April 20 for continuation of proceedings.
