Alleged N8.7b fraud: Court grants Malami, wife, son N200m bail each

A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to former Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, his wife Asabe Bashir and his son Abdulaziz in the alleged N8.7 billion fraud case filed against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

They have all pleaded not guilty to the amended charges.

Court clears Abba Kyari in asset non declaration case

A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the non declaration of assets case filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency against suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari and his two brothers. Delivering judgment, Justice James Omotosho held that the NDLEA failed to provide sufficient and credible evidence to prove that Kyari owned the properties and funds listed in the charge sheet. The judge ruled that the prosecution did not tender documents clearly linking Kyari to several properties in Abuja and Maiduguri, or to the bank accounts said to contain over N207 million and 17,598 euros. He noted that under the law, ownership of landed property must be proved through title documents, traditional history or clear acts of possession, but the NDLEA did not meet this requirement in court. Justice Omotosho also accepted Kyari’s explanation that some of […]

Court to open ex‑AGF Malami, son’s terrorism trial March 10

The Federal High Court in Abuja will on March 10 begin the trial of former Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami and his son Abdulaziz over alleged terrorism financing and related offences. Malami and his son were earlier arraigned by the Department of State Services on a five count charge bordering on aiding and abetting terrorism, terrorism financing and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition under the Terrorism Act 2022 and Firearms Act 2004. The court had in February granted each of them bail in the sum of N200 million with sureties, but ordered that they remain in custody until the bail conditions were fully met. At the last sitting, the case was adjourned after the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation formally took over the prosecution from the DSS, prompting a rescheduling of the commencement of […]

Court adjourns Tukur Mamu’s fundamental rights suit against AGF

Justice Mohammed Umar fixed the new date for adoption of final written addresses after asking counsel to further address the court on the relationship between Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution and Section 49 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022. The matter had earlier come up for adoption of written addresses but could not proceed. Mamu, through his lawyer Johnson Usman (SAN), argues that the AGF’s decision to label him a terrorist in official and media communications violates his right to presumption of innocence under Section 36(5) of the Constitution. He contends that it is illegal, immoral and against religious principles to brand him a terrorist before any conviction by the court where he is facing trial. Usman told the court that he attached printouts of media reports where Mamu was described as a terrorist to support the […]

ISWAP attacks: Court exonerates DSS over terror suspect’s whereabouts

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has exonerated the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations that it secretly detained and killed alleged ISWAP leader in Kogi, Yusuf Lukman Omeiza, who was linked to a series of terror attacks. The suit was filed by Omeiza’s relatives, Jimoh Yusuf and Fati Mohammed, who sought declarations that his alleged arrest, detention and killing without trial violated his right to life and demanded 10 billion naira in damages from the DSS and the Attorney General of the Federation.​ Lawyers to the plaintiffs relied largely on claims that the suspect had disappeared after his 2015 arrest in Okene, insisting that security agents must be held responsible. However, the DSS, through its counsel, argued that the allegation of extra‑judicial killing was based on hearsay and tendered documents to show that Omeiza was transferred to […]
