flag Nigeria’s EFCC seeks to disqualify judge who granted bail in $9.7M terrorism financing case; decision pending.

flag The EFCC has asked the Chief Judge to disqualify Justice Mohammed Umar from overseeing a terrorism financing case involving former Bauchi State Finance Commissioner Yakubu Adamu, citing concerns over impartiality after Umar granted bail to Adamu and three others. flag The case, linked to allegations of funneling $9.7 million in state funds to a group tied to a vigilante force, is under Nigeria’s 2022 Money Laundering and Terrorism Prevention Acts. flag The trial has been indefinitely adjourned while the Chief Judge reviews the petition, with defense lawyers objecting to the lack of consultation and seeking Adamu’s passport for Hajj preparations. flag The outcome will determine whether the case continues under a different judge.
