The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, FCT has adjourned the alleged terrorism trial of the former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), and his son, Abdulaziz, until March 10, 2026.
This follows a request by the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), who told the court that the prosecution required more time to familiarise itself with the case file.
Oyedepo informed the court that the file was recently transferred from the State Security Services to the Department of Public Prosecutions.
“We ask your lordship for a very short date. If we have four days, it will be enough,” he said.
Counsel for the defendants, Mr Adedayo Adedeji, did not oppose the application but urged the court to strike out the case if the prosecution fails to open its case on the next adjourned date, alleging lack of diligent prosecution.
The judge subsequently adjourned the matter to March 10 for trial and directed the prosecution to formally open its case.
