Prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and ex-governorship aspirant in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, has publicly commented on the recent court decision involving former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
On Tuesday, December 30, 2025, Melaye posted on his verified X account in response to reports that a Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered Malami’s remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
As reported by Vanguard and other outlets, Justice Emeka Nwite directed that Malami, along with his son Abdulaziz Malami and associate Hajia Bashir Asabe, remain in custody until January 2, 2026, when their bail applications will be heard.
In his post, Melaye reflected on his personal history with Malami during the latter’s tenure as Minister of Justice, accusing him of pursuing baseless legal actions against him.
Melaye wrote: “Former AGF, Abubakar Malami, alongside his son, have appeared in court today. Reminded me of how I was appearing in different courts when Malami was prosecuting me over frivolous cases including taking over one of the police cases against me. Wish him well.”
The remark highlights a sense of irony for Melaye, who faced multiple prosecutions under the previous administration, while extending a measured note of goodwill amid the ongoing money laundering allegations against Malami and his co-defendants.
