Also dragged before the court alongside the minister is a staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, Ms Asabe Waziri, after the AGF was accused of bias in its prosecution. In the suit, filed by businessman and property developer, Mr Cecil Osakwe, he is praying the court for an order of N1billion damages against the AGF.

Osakwe sued Malami in his personal and official capacity for abuse of his office, when he preferred charges against him, and used the charge as a tool to blackmail and arm-twist him to give out two units of 3-bedroom flats in one of his properties at Mekong close Maitama, Abuja to Asabe Waziri, even against a valid Court Order.
