Abubakar Malami, a former attorney general and minister of justice, has refuted rumors that he is hiding out.
Following Abdulrasheed Bawa’s suspension as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on June 14 due to his actions while in office, it was claimed that Malami fled the nation in an effort to avoid capture and scrutiny.
According to reports, the EFCC invited the former Minister in order to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged loss of over $2.4 billion in revenue from the illegal sale of 48 million barrels of crude oil in 2015, including all crude oil sales and exports by Nigeria from 2014 to the present.
In His Words He said;
I have not been invited by the EFCC or any other anti-corruption agency in Nigeria. I’m available in Nigeria and attending a wedding Fatiha slated for 2.30 at Sheikh Isiyaka Rabi’u Mosque, Kano, tomorrow (today).
“I have no plan of leaving Nigeria and I will gladly honour any invitation extended to me by any agency of government. I’m a true Nigerian and I believe in the Nigerian project.
“I will make myself available to Nigeria and its institutions on demand.”
