ABUJA, Nigeria – Former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, is facing questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an investigation that could reopen scrutiny of asset recovery deals and contract approvals during the Buhari administration.
Malami confirmed the invitation in a personal statement, reaffirming his commitment to honor the summons and cooperate fully with investigators. “As a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I hereby reaffirm my commitment to honour the invitation,” the former justice minister stated, emphasizing his belief in transparency and accountability principles.
The EFCC investigation is reportedly examining several controversial decisions from Malami’s tenure, including high-profile asset recoveries, disposal of seized vessels and oil, and contract approvals that had previously drawn public concern. Sources indicate the probe focuses on transparency and management of recovered national assets during the Buhari era.
The former minister, who has not yet arrived at EFCC headquarters according to latest reports, maintains that his public service record has always been guided by accountability and responsible governance.
