The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), following an interrogation session at its headquarters. Malami confirmed the development in a personally signed statement posted on X on Saturday.
According to him, the engagement with investigators was “successful,” and he has been scheduled for further questioning as the commission continues its probe.
“I give glory to Allah for His divine intervention,” Malami wrote, adding that the ongoing process will reveal the truth behind what he described as “fabricated allegations.”
His update came a day after publicly acknowledging the EFCC’s invitation. Malami stressed his willingness to cooperate fully with the agency, describing himself as a law-abiding citizen committed to transparency and accountability. He said honesty and integrity guided his time in government and remain central to his conduct.
The former minister also disclosed that he had already informed family and associates of the situation, noting that investigators simply requested clarifications on certain issues. He promised to keep Nigerians updated as developments unfold, saying the matter was of “public interest.”
As of the time of filing this report, the EFCC has not released details regarding the scope or focus of its investigation.
