Former AGF, Abubakar Malami, and his son, Abdulazizz Malami, have been slammed with a five count charge bordering on terrorism financing and illegal possession of firearms by the DSS.
In the charge filed by the DSS, Malami is accused of knowingly abetting terrorism financing by refusing to prosecute suspected terrorism financiers whose case files were forwarded to his office during his tenure as Attorney General of the Federation.
The DSS alleged that the former AGF deliberately failed to act on the cases, despite having the constitutional responsibility to initiate prosecution, thereby aiding and enabling terrorism related activities.
Malami and his son are also accused of engaging in conduct preparatory to committing an act of terrorism. The charges include unlawful possession of a Sturm Magnum 17-0101 firearm, sixteen Redstar AAA 5’20 live cartridges, and twenty seven expended Redstar AAA 5’20 cartridges, allegedly found in their possession without a valid licence.
