The legal troubles for former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami are heating up as a judge scheduled his next major hearing for March 10.
While he is currently out on a ₦200 million bail, he is fighting two separate cases involving terrorism and massive financial crimes.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik agreed to a one-week break to allow the prosecution to prepare their witnesses. This is the final chance for the government to start its case.
Part of the terrorism case claims that Malami mishandled government files during his time in office to help people suspected of funding terrorists.
Both Malami and his son are also defending themselves against claims that they kept unregistered firearms in their home.
The legal drama has expanded to include Malami’s wife. Along with her husband and son, she is facing a 16-count charge from the EFCC regarding billions of naira in "unlawful funds."
