The case involving former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and his son, Abdulaziz, has been adjourned by the Federal High Court in Abuja till March 10

The adjournment comes after an application by the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo who sort more time to enable the prosecution to adequately study the case file.

Oyedepo told the court that the matter was only recently transferred from the Department of State Services to the Department of Public Prosecutions, necessitating time to familiarise himself with the facts.

Counsel for the defendants, Mr Adedayo Adedeji, did not oppose the application for adjournment. He, however, urged the court to strike out the case if the prosecution fails to commence trial on the next adjourned date, alleging a lack of diligent prosecution.

Ruling on the application, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik adjourned the matter until March 10 for trial and directed the prosecution to open its case on the said date.
