The Department of State Services (DSS) has re-arrested former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, shortly after he was released from Kuje Prison in Abuja.

Malami had just completed his bail conditions and exited the correctional facility when DSS operatives reportedly took him back into custody.

Details surrounding the fresh arrest remain unclear as of press time, but sources say it is connected to ongoing investigations involving the former justice minister.
