Former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has met all bail conditions granted to him but remains in custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.
The situation unfolded after Malami reportedly declined to step out of the facility over fears that the Department of State Services may immediately rearrest him upon release.
Sources familiar with the matter said the former justice minister chose to stay back to avoid what he believes could be a fresh detention linked to ongoing investigations.
Malami is currently facing allegations connected to his time in office, with security agencies said to be probing financial and administrative decisions taken during his tenure.
The development has added a new twist to the case, as legal observers await clarity on whether the DSS plans further action or if Malami will eventually leave custody under the existing bail terms.
