A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered that former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, his son, and another associate be remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre.
The decision came after they were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a 16-count charge related to money laundering and conspiracy.
During the court session on Tuesday, Malami and his co-defendants pleaded not guilty to all charges brought against them.
The EFCC alleges that Malami abused his office to launder billions of naira through private companies and used the funds to acquire numerous high-value properties.
After they entered their pleas, the judge ordered that they remain in custody and set January 2 for the hearing of their bail applications.
