The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday adjourned judgment in the forfeiture suit filed by the EFCC against 57 properties linked to former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, SAN, until July 10.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Justice Joyce Abdulmalik had, on May 26, fixed today for the delivery of the judgment.
Judge Abdulmalik fixed the date after EFCC’s lawyer, Jibrin Okutepa, SAN, and counsel to Malami and other respondents, Adedayo Adedeji, SAN, adopted their processes and presented their arguments for and against the case.
The case, listed as number four on Monday’s cause list, however, could not proceed.
Although no reason was adduced for the shift in the date, three other cases on the cause list were also given new dates out of the 13 matters before the court.
