A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday granted bail to former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, his wife, Asabe Bashir, and their son, Abdulaziz Malami.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik granted each of the defendants bail in the sum of ₦200 million with two sureties in like sum.
As part of the bail conditions, the court ordered that one of the sureties must deposit title deeds of properties located in either Maitama or Asokoro, both highbrow districts of Abuja.
The court also directed the defendants to deposit their international passports with the court.
Pending the fulfilment of the bail conditions, the defendants are to remain in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
Justice Abdulmalik subsequently adjourned the matter until March 16 for the commencement of the trial.
