**Terrorism Trial of Abubakar Malami: Court Reschedules Trial as AGF Office Takes Over Prosecution** In a recent development, the Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the terrorism trial of former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami and his son, Abdulaziz Malami. This comes as the prosecution has been transferred from the State Security Service (SSS) to the AGF office. The case was initially arraigned in February, with the SSS accusing Malami of terrorism-related charges, including allegedly refusing to prosecute suspected terrorism financiers while he served as AGF in 2022. The prosecution also accused Malami and his son of possessing a Sturm Magnum firearm without a license. The defendants pleaded not guilty to all counts and were later granted bail of N200 million each. However, the prosecution requested an adjournment to familiarize itself with the case, citing that the AGF office only recently received the case file from the SSS. The Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Rotimi Oyedepo, argued that his office needed a short date to prepare for trial, which the judge granted. The case has now been adjourned until 10 March for trial. This development raises questions about the role of the AGF office in prosecuting high-profile cases, particularly when the accused is a former AGF himself. The SSS had initially arraigned Malami on terrorism-related charges, but the transfer of prosecution to the AGF office may indicate a change in strategy by the federal government. Malami and his son are also facing a separate money laundering case before the same court, alongside Malami's wife, Asabe Bashir. The EFCC had accused the trio of conspiring to conceal and retain proceeds of unlawful activity worth about N8.7 billion through multiple bank accounts and corporate entities. The case was first brought before the court in December last year, with the judge remanding the three defendants in custody. The rescheduling of the terrorism trial is a significant development in the ongoing saga of Abubakar Malami's trial. As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how the AGF office will proceed with the prosecution and what implications this may have for Nigeria's anti-terrorism efforts.
