Former Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye, has reacted to the arraignment of former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, over alleged money laundering before a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Melaye, in a brief comment, wished Malami well as he faces trial on corruption-related charges.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the ex-lawmaker recalled his own legal battles while Malami served as Attorney General, claiming he was prosecuted over what he described as frivolous cases during that period.

“Reminded me of how I was appearing in different courts when Malami, as AGF, was prosecuting me over frivolous cases, including taking over one of the police cases against me. Wish him well,” Melaye wrote.

Malami, his son Abdulaziz, and another individual are currently facing a 16-count charge bordering on money laundering. The charges relate to alleged unlawful acquisition and concealment of funds.

All the defendants pleaded not guilty during their arraignment.
