Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, has described as false reports that he conspired with a lawyer to testify against Ibrahim Magu, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Malami made the denial in a statement signed by his spokesman, Umar Gwandu and made available to reporters on Monday.

The statement said that report about the Malami’s involvement with one Donald Wokoma was false.

The statement reads: “The attention of the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has been drawn to a flimsy allegation made by one, Victor Giwa, Esq accusing the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN of conniving with one Donald Wokoma to witch-hunt him over what he termed as ‘his refusal to testify against Ibrahim Magu’ at the ongoing Retired Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential Panel probing the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.
It added that the AGF never met Giwa nor had any discussions with Wokoma nor asked anybody, personally or by proxy, to engage the so-called Victor to testify against the suspended EFCC boss.

The statement said the Minister did not set up the investigation panel to probe Magu and not saddled with any responsibility to procure witness(es) for the panel.

According to the statement, Malami is never a member of the panel constituted by President Muhammadu Buhari nor does it fall within his realm of authority to invite witness (es) for a presidential probe panel.

Malami is as bad as Magu

Arrest him too

Las las,all these gra gra na scam.very soon the matter will be swept under the carpet.

Malami is bigger crook than Magu, he tried to oust magu because they were both dragging corruption proceeds that comes from looted funds and auctioned property.

Malami malami hmm

What do you expect his response to be in the first place? To own up to the allegation? Never!

If you've ever been to Birini kebbi recently then you'll know that this man Malami is worse than his target. He's doing a lot of shady things there by proxy and also eyeing the 2023 governorship.

Now that you have cleared the air, when are you clearing the space?

Magu
Malami
Buhari
They are all thieves

Truly Magu diverted money and was involved in some shady deals but the question is why is Malami with no or little integrity is hell bent on destroying Magu.

I guess Magu refused his "chop I chop" requests.



When the time comes Nigerians will see Malami's hypocrisy

For the fact he is not a member of the probing panel, doesn't mean that he can't influence decisions. Obviously something is amiss and I already know that at the end of the day, despite the Plethora of evidences against Magi, he may or will probably get a pat on the back and the thievery nature of the APC led government will continue with an unaltered and unabridged form of impunity.

I rest my case

Join APC and your sins will be forgiven

A nother

P robable

C riminal

In country with a working system, both Malami and Magu are not fit to hold any public office talk of the sensitive positions like AGF and EFCC.


Malami and Magu are dangerous

I can't wait for this worst AG ever's sleaze to be uncovered for everyone to see.

This country is in a huge mess with these rogue and incompetent individuals.

Oga Malami,

Don't rejoice over the death of another person, you don't the kind of death waiting for you.

Believe both at your detriment

Daaaamnnnn Nigggarrrr
Nigeria for you

Dog eat dog

He denies everything. A lot of people have accused him of a lot of bad deeds
He should be sacked. Cheap denials

Ok

Will any Nigerian govt official agree or accept any accusations brought up against them?

Let's wait and see how things unfold. In my personal opinion, I'm more inclined to believe that Malami is as corrupt as they come.

Nigerians looking at Malami and Magun' like:

Ok
