The Federal High Court, the Legal Aid Council, and the Defense Headquarters are working with the ministry to plan the upcoming round of terrorism-related trials.

A framework for cooperative terrorism case investigations has also been devised by the AGF’s office in collaboration with pertinent security and law enforcement organisations.

Malami reaffirmed that he will continue to offer advice and direct the administration on criminal justice and other legal issues.
