A Federal High Court judge in Abuja, Obiora Egwuatu, has withdrawn from presiding over two cases involving Abubakar Malami, former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
Egwuatu announced his decision during Thursday’s court session, citing personal reasons and the interest of justice.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is prosecuting Malami on a 16-count charge bordering on money laundering.
