Dalung Blasts Malami’s Court Arraignment, Calls For Real Terrorism Financiers To Face Justice
Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has faulted the Federal Government over the prosecution of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), insisting that alleged terrorism financiers should also be brought before the court.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Dalung made this known in an interview with Trust TV, published on Wednesday, while reacting to Malami’s arraignment by the Department of State Services (DSS) at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
He questioned the basis of the charges against Malami, arguing that if the former AGF is being tried for allegedly failing to prosecute terrorism financiers, then those financiers themselves should equally be facing trial.
“From the charges read during the arraignment of the former Attorney-General, I understood that he is being prosecuted for refusing to prosecute terrorist financiers,” Dalung said.
“We need to see those terrorist financiers in this country arraigned and prosecuted. If Malami is being tried for refusing to act, then where are the financiers?”
Dalung also referred to previous intelligence reports reportedly shared with Nigerian authorities, including a list said to have been submitted by the United Arab Emirates to former President Muhammadu Buhari, and another allegedly provided by Chad’s General Tchiani to the current administration.
“The financiers list given to President Buhari by the UAE, and the one given to this government by General Tchiani of Chad—where are those financiers?” he asked.
The former minister maintained that prosecuting Malami alone without prosecuting the alleged sponsors of terrorism undermines the purpose of the case.
“Why is it only Malami on trial? He should have been arraigned alongside the financiers,” he insisted.
Dalung further expressed concern over the inclusion of Malami’s son, Abdulaziz, as a co-defendant, questioning the justification for his involvement.
“I’m even tempted to ask: did his son also refuse to advise his father to prosecute the financiers, and that is why he is standing trial with him?” he queried.
Malami and his son were arraigned on Tuesday on a five-count charge bordering on terrorism financing, aiding and abetting terrorism, as well as unlawful possession of firearms.
