The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Malam Abubakar Malami (SAN) for questioning.
Persecondnews reports that Malami, son-in-law to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, announced the development on his Facebook page on Friday, November 28 confirming that he had received a formal invitation from the anti-graft agency.
“I would like to inform my family and friends that I have been summoned by the EFCC to provide clarification on certain matters, and as a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I am determined to honour this invitation without any hesitation,” he wrote.
The former minister reiterated his commitment to the principles of honesty, integrity and accountability, which he said guided his years in public service.
“I believe in the importance of honesty, integrity and accountability in governance, these are principles that I have long supported and upheld over the years of my public service,” he added.
Malami also stated that he would keep Nigerians informed of any developments that may arise from the invitation.
Persecondnews had reported that Malami defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) some weeks ago.
According to him, the move followed “wide consultations and deep personal reflection.”
Malami had during the week declared his intention to run as governor of Kebbi State ahead of 2027 poll.
