Abubakar Malami’s bail hearing has been rescheduled to February 27, 2026, after the Federal High Court in Abuja declared today a work-free day.
The former Attorney-General is facing terrorism-related charges filed by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Malami was arraigned on February 3 alongside his son, Abdulaziz Abubakar Malami, on charges of terrorism financing, aiding and abetting terrorism, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
The DSS accused Malami of knowingly abetting terrorism financing during his tenure as Attorney-General.
The bail application was initially expected to be ruled on today, but the unexpected court holiday has prolonged Malami’s stay in custody.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had previously granted Malami administrative bail, but he was later remanded in prison pending the hearing of his bail application.
