DSS Arrests Former AGF Abubakar Malami Over Alleged Terrorism Financing
The Department of State Services (DSS) has reportedly arrested a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), over allegations of terrorism financing.
The reported arrest has triggered widespread public and legal debate, given the gravity of the accusations and Malami’s prominent role in Nigeria’s legal and political landscape. Terrorism financing is regarded as one of the most serious offences under Nigerian and international law, carrying severe legal and security implications.
Legal practitioners and civil society actors have urged caution, stressing that the allegations remain subject to investigation and must be handled strictly in line with due process. They have emphasised the need for transparency, adherence to the rule of law, and respect for Malami’s constitutional rights as the probe progresses.
As of the time of filing this report, the DSS has not issued an official statement detailing the circumstances of the arrest or the specific nature of the allegations. The situation continues to evolve, with Nigerians closely watching how the investigation unfolds and what it could mean for accountability at the highest levels of government.
