Court adjourns Malami, son’s terrorism financing trial

The trial of former Nigerian Attorney-General Abubakar Malami and his son was adjourned until April due to the prosecution's need for more time to prepare.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has postponed the trial of Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney-General of Nigeria, and his son Abdulaziz, who are facing charges related to terrorism financing and illegal possession of firearms. The adjournment was granted by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik after the prosecution, represented by Akinlolu Kehinde (SAN), informed the court that he had only recently been assigned to the case and required additional time to prepare and consult with witnesses. This situation highlights the complexities involved in high-profile legal cases, especially those involving allegations linked to terrorism.
