Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has again been taken into custody by the Department of State Services (DSS).
DSS operatives reportedly apprehended the former minister shortly after he exited Kuje Correctional Centre, having fulfilled the conditions attached to his bail.
It was gathered that Malami is being held in connection with a fresh investigation by the secret police.
It was learnt that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly recovered arms from his country home in Kebbi State during a search.
Prior to the development, Malami had accused the DSS of plotting to re-arrest him at the Kuje facility.
On Wednesday, a Federal High Court granted bail to Malami, his wife and his son in the sum of ₦500 million each, with two sureties.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Mohammed Bello Doka, the former attorney-general claimed that DSS operatives had been conducting surveillance around the correctional centre with the intention of re-arresting him.
Despite reportedly meeting all bail requirements, Malami was eventually picked up by DSS officials.
