AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has debunked claims of being on the run.
It was alleged that Malami left the country in a bid to evade arrest and investigation following the suspension of Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, over his conduct while in office by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday, June 14.
It was reported that the former Minister was invited by the EFCC who are interested to find out what led to the alleged loss of over $2.4 billion in revenue from the illegal sale of 48 million barrels of crude oil export in 2015 including all crude oil exports and sales by Nigeria from 2014 till date.
Speaking to Daily Trust, 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.”
