The ruling was delivered on December 23, 2025, by Justice Bello Kawu while presiding over Motion No. M/17220/2025.
According to the court order, the bail was granted on the same terms earlier considered by the EFCC, including the surrender of Malami’s international passport and the execution of bail bonds by two sureties.
The sureties include the Director-General of the Nigerian Legal Aid Council and a serving member of the House of Representatives representing the Augie/Argungu Federal Constituency.
The court also reviewed and revalidated previously fulfilled bail conditions dated November 28, 2025, which required the provision of the two sureties and the surrender of the applicant’s international passport.
Justice Bello Kawu held that the application for bail was granted on the grounds of exceptional hardship, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive motion on notice.
The matter has been adjourned to January 5, 2026, for the hearing of the motion on notice.
The order was issued under the seal of the High Court of Justice, Abuja, and signed by the Registrar, Hadiza Sambo Gwandu.
A reliable source confirmed that Malami has accepted the bail conditions laid down by the EFCC.
The promotion, which commenced on January 8 and runs until February 8, 2026, offers five core maritime law books authored by Dr. Emeka Akabogu, SAN, ordinarily valued at N405,000, for just N150,000 — a 63% discount.
