Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has confirmed receiving an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. He recently assured Nigerians of his readiness to appear before the anti-graft agency.
Speaking via his personal Facebook page on Friday, Malami described himself as a law-abiding citizen who is committed to accountability and transparency in public service.
According to him, he decided to publicly announce the invitation because of his long-standing advocacy for openness and responsible governance.
Malami stated that he intends to keep Nigerians informed as events unfold in the coming weeks.
“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 — principles that I both advocate and champion,” he wrote.
Recall that Malami served as Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice from 2015 to 2023 under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
His tenure featured various high-profile legal battles, including asset recovery initiatives, anti-corruption reforms, and numerous government decisions that drew both national and international attention.
In the later years of his tenure, Malami faced public scrutiny over issues relating to asset declarations, contract approvals, and the management of recovered funds.
However, as of today, Malami has passionately denied all of these allegations.
