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 […]

Court remands ex-AGF Malami, son, co-defendant in Kuje prison over multibillion-naira fraud

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN), his son Abdulaziz Malami and a co-defendant, Asabe Bashir, in custody over an alleged multibillion-naira money laundering case. Justice Emeka Nwite directed that Malami and his son be held at Kuje Correctional Centre while Bashir is to be kept at Suleja Correctional Centre, pending the hearing of their bail applications.​ The defendants were earlier arraigned by the EFCC on a 16-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering, unlawful acquisition of assets and conspiracy, to which they all pleaded not guilty.

Former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN) and his son have been arraigned by the EFCC on 16 counts of alleged money laundering running into about N8.7bn, with both pleading not guilty before the Federal High Court in Abuja. The charges allege they used companies like Metropolitan Auto Tech Ltd, Rayhaan Hotels Ltd and Meethaq Hotels Ltd to conceal the illicit origin of funds and acquire properties across Abuja, Kano and Kebbi between 2015 and 2025.​ Prosecutors say over N1.01bn was allegedly hidden in a Sterling Bank account between July 2022 and June 2025, with another N600m used as collateral for a N500m bank loan to Rayhaan Hotels in 2021.

Court rejects Nnamdi Kanu’s bid to leave Sokoto prison

The Federal High Court in Abuja has rejected an application by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu seeking to be moved from the Sokoto Correctional Centre to a custodial facility closer to Abuja. Kanu had asked to be transferred to Kuje Custodial Centre in the Federal Capital Territory or Keffi Custodial Centre in Nasarawa State.​ He made the request through the Legal Aid Council in an ex parte application, arguing that a transfer would help him effectively pursue his appeal. In the alternative, he asked to be moved to any facility within the court’s jurisdiction, including Suleja or Keffi.​ Justice James Omotosho declined to grant the request on Monday, ruling that such an order could not be made without hearing from the Federal Government. The judge held that the government and other parties must be given the chance to respond before any […]
