Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has been taken back into custody by operatives of the Department of State Services.
The secret police reportedly arrested the former minister shortly after he exited Kuje Correctional Centre, having fulfilled the conditions attached to his bail.
Sources disclosed that the DSS action is connected to a fresh investigation being conducted by the agency.
It was gathered that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission allegedly discovered arms at Malami’s country home in Kebbi State during a search operation.
The former attorney-general had earlier raised concerns about an alleged plan by the DSS to re-arrest him while he was still in custody at Kuje Prison.
On Wednesday, a Federal High Court granted Malami, his wife and his son bail in the sum of ₦500 million each, with two sureties required for every defendant.
However, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Mohammed Bello Doka, Malami accused the DSS of mounting surveillance around the correctional facility with the intention of taking him back into custody.
According to the account, the former minister successfully met all bail requirements before he was picked up again by operatives of the secret police.
