The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, for an interview, though the agency has not disclosed the specific reason for the summons.
According to an EFCC letter dated November 24 and signed by Sunday Atiba Ofen-Imu on behalf of the Commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, Malami is scheduled to appear before investigators on Friday, November 28.
“The Commission is investigating a case for which obtaining certain information from you has become imperative,” the letter stated.
The interview is set to take place at the EFCC Headquarters in the Institution and Research District, Jabi, Abuja.
The letter further requested his appearance through the Head of the Special Duty Committee-3, citing Section 38(1) and (2) of the EFCC Establishment Act, 2024. The agency emphasised that Malami’s cooperation was “highly solicited.”
Responding to the summons, Malami confirmed that he received the EFCC’s letter and stated his willingness to comply.
“As a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I hereby reaffirm my commitment to honour the invitation,” he said in a statement issued on Friday.
He added that accountability and transparency are principles he has consistently upheld in public service.
“I understand the spirit of accountability and transparency in public service, the principles that I both advocate and champion. In that spirit, I am committed to keeping Nigerians informed as developments unfold,” he noted.
Malami previously served as Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
