Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has confirmed that he has been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and pledged to appear before the anti-graft agency.
In a statement on his personal Facebook page on Friday, Malami described himself as a law-abiding citizen committed to transparency and accountability in public service.
“I hereby reaffirm my commitment to honour the invitation from the EFCC,” he wrote, noting that his public disclosure reflects his long-standing advocacy for openness and responsible governance.
Malami served as Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice from 2015 to 2023 under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
His tenure was marked by high-profile legal cases, asset recovery efforts, anti-corruption initiatives, and controversies over contract approvals and the management of recovered funds, allegations he consistently denied.
The EFCC has not yet provided details regarding the scope or purpose of its invitation to the former minister.
