In Nigeria, former justice minister Abubakar Malami and his son, Abdulaziz, are facing multiple charges, including terrorist financing and illegal possession of firearms.
The Department of State Security (DSS) filed five counts against them on Tuesday, months after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission earlier charged them with money laundering.
Prosecutors allege that in November 2022, Malami knowingly abetted terrorism financing by refusing to prosecute suspected financiers whose case files were forwarded to him while he served as attorney general.
