Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi on Tuesday paid a visit to Abubakar Malami in Abuja, just hours after the former Attorney General was released from detention.
The meeting took place at Malami’s residence in the nation’s capital, shortly after he regained freedom from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), where he had been held for months.
While the purpose of the visit was not officially disclosed, sources suggest it may be linked to Malami’s ongoing legal matters involving the DSS and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Malami was reportedly granted bail on Monday, marking a significant development in the high-profile case that has drawn national attention.
A viral video circulating online captured the moment the former Minister of Justice reunited with his family following his release, an emotional scene that quickly gained traction across social media platforms.
The meeting between Obi and Malami has sparked speculation in political circles, given the timing and the prominence of both figures in Nigeria’s political landscape. Observers say further details may emerge in the coming days as developments unfold.
