BREAKING: Court grants N500m bail to Malami, Son, wife
The Department of State Services has re-arraigned former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), alongside his son, Abdulaziz Malami, before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja on an amended charge involving alleged terrorism and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
At the hearing, DSS counsel, Akinlolu Kehinde (SAN), informed the court that an amended charge had been filed to replace the earlier one under which the defendants were initially arraigned.
He subsequently applied for the withdrawal of the earlier charge and requested that the new amended charge be read to the defendants so that fresh pleas could be taken.
Counsel to the defendants, Shaibu Aruwa (SAN), confirmed they had been served with the amended charge and did not oppose its reading in court.
Malami and his son are accused of allegedly preparing to commit acts of terrorism in December 2025 by unlawfully possessing a Sturm Magnum 17–0101 firearm, 16 rounds of Redstar AAA 5.20 live ammunition, and 27 expended Redstar cartridges.
