**"Judicial Realignment: Former AGF Malami's EFCC Cases Get New Judge"** In a sudden twist of events, Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has withdrawn from two high-profile cases filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami. This development raises eyebrows as Malami's trial continues to unfold against the backdrop of multiple accusations. According to sources, Justice Egwuatu's decision to recuse himself from the cases is said to be based on personal reasons and a commitment to ensuring justice is served. This decision comes as one of the cases, a civil suit seeking the forfeiture of several properties linked to Malami, was scheduled to be heard in court. It's worth noting that Malami is not only facing EFCC prosecution but also a separate trial by the Federal Government through the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations of terrorism financing. This latest development may further complicate the proceedings and potentially lead to delays. However, it is expected that the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, will provide more clarification on the reassignment of the cases. The withdrawal of Justice Egwuatu from the Malami cases has sparked interest and questions about the implications for the ongoing trial. As proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how this new development will affect the course of justice. Will the reassignment of the cases lead to a more transparent and fair trial? Only time will tell as the legal battle between the EFCC and Malami continues to unfold.
