On Friday, Malami ordered the EFCC to hand over all high profile corruption cases to his office.

SaharaReporters gathered that the wedding ceremony turned out to be a nightmare for motorists and commuters in Kano, one of the busiest cities in Northern Nigeria, who woke up to the sight of armed security personnel barricading roads in key locations within the metropolis.

SaharaReporters also claimed that the wedding ceremony will further move to Birnin Kebbi, on Sunday (today), where an ‘exclusive’ dinner party will be staged by the AGF for top guests.

The celebration may also continue on Monday with two special ceremony on plan, including a Walima (Muslim ceremony where other women in a family welcomes a new bride).

Sources told SaharaReporters that since being appointed into the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2015, Malami, a previously little known lawyer, had in a short while acquired many choice properties.

He also has often been accused of abusing his position in Buhari’s cabinet.
