Activist Omoyele Sowore has asked former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to join his “Revolution Now” movement.
Speaking during an interaction with Malami on Monday, April 27, 2026, Sowore presented Malami with his signature movement cap, observing that the judicial and political systems Malami once directed are now targeting the former minister.
He said, “The system is dealing with you (Malami) now, I want to give you my own revolution now cap. We are now on the same side now.”
Sowore’s gesture highlighted the irony of the situation, suggesting that their shared experience of facing the state’s legal machinery has placed them on the same side of the struggle for justice.
This encounter occurred as Malami’s legal challenges reached a critical phase.
The former Attorney General is currently facing a series of criminal charges in the Federal High Court in Abuja.
In the most recent developments, the Federal Government amended its indictment against Malami and his son, Abdulaziz.
While previous allegations concerning the financing of terrorism were dropped on April 15, 2026, the duo still faces multiple counts regarding the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
These charges arose from a high-profile investigation involving the discovery of weapons at a private residence.
Beyond the firearms case, Malami is battling a substantial money laundering suit involving approximately N8.7 billion.
Prosecutors are also seeking the final forfeiture of 57 properties across the country, alleging they were acquired through illicit means.
Although Malami maintains his innocence and claims the assets were legally obtained, he remains on a N200 million bail.
With his trial dates now scheduled for May and June 2026, the man who once served as the nation’s chief law officer finds himself fighting for his freedom within the very courts he once supervised….See More
