The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has summoned former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, for questioning
.
Malami revealed the development himself in a post on his verified Facebook page early Friday, though he did not specify the focus of the EFCC’s investigation.

He said: “This is to confirm that I have been invited by the EFCC.

“As a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I hereby reaffirm my commitment to honour the invitation.

” I understand the spirit of accountability and transparency in public service  – the principles that I both advocate and champion.

“Rooted in public service and  in the spirit of transparency and accountability,  I am committed to sharing with the Nigerian public the  developments as they unfold.”

Malami, who served as AGF from late 2015 until May 2023 under former President Muhammadu Buhari, oversaw the EFCC during his eight-year tenure at the Ministry of Justice.

PlatinumPost reports that Malami is a leading figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and aspirant for the Kebbi State governorship seat .
