Abubakar Malami, SAN, former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister for Justice under the late President Muhammadu Buhari Government, who was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has been interrogated and released.
The Commission had invited Malami to its Abuja Headquarters for interrogation over what was not stated.
On receipt of the invitation letter, the former Minister whose Ministry oversaw the activities of the EFCC, made it public, promised to honour it, and update the public of interaction with the body in alignment with his belief in transparency and accountability.
He did. And even though he is not smelling of roses yet, since he has another appointment to keep with the Commission, he described his meeting with his interrogators as “successful”.
And true to his pledge to make public his “journey” to the Commission, he took to his X page, and posted: “In line with my undertaking to keep Nigerians updated on my invitation by EFCC, I give glory to Allah for his divine intervention. The engagement was successful and I am eventually releases, while on an appointment for further engagement, as the truth relating to the fabricated allegations against me continues to unfold.”
He did not however, reveal why he was invited or what he discussed with the Commission.
A founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC,and an unapologetic Buharist, his relationship with the Party soured soon after Buhari left office, and worsened since his death.
He has since dumped the party for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, under which he has declared he would run for the Governorship seat of his State, Kebbi, in 2027.
