It was long awaited, and many have wondered why it took the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) so long to invite former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, for questioning.
Malami personally confirmed the development on Friday in a statement posted on his official Facebook page, noting that he intends to fully cooperate with the anti-graft agency.
“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,” he wrote.
He stated that his decision to publicly acknowledge the invitation stems from his commitment to transparency, accountability, and the values he advocated while in public office.
“I understand the spirit of accountability and transparency in public service — the principles that I both advocate and champion,” he said, adding that he would keep Nigerians informed as events unfold.
Malami also appealed to his family, friends, and the general public to remain calm, reiterating that he is ready to clarify any issues raised by investigators.
“I believe in the importance of honesty, integrity and accountability in leadership — principles I’ve long supported throughout my years in public service,” he added.
The former AGF assured that he will provide further updates regarding the invitation and any subsequent developments.
