Malami, who also served as Minister of Justice, is being prosecuted alongside his wife, Hajiya Asabe Bashir, and son, Abdulaziz, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The case, scheduled for continuation before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, could not proceed because Mr Daudu was not present in court.
Although counsel to the EFCC, Jibrin Okutepa, SAN, attended the proceedings alongside the defendants, their lead lawyer was absent.
