EFCC Summons Former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami for Questioning

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has summoned former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, for questioning in connection with ongoing corruption investigations.

Sources within the anti-graft agency confirmed that the summons was issued earlier this week and that Malami is expected to appear for questioning at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja. The nature of the investigation has not been fully disclosed, but insiders say it relates to alleged irregularities during his tenure as the country’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice.

The EFCC has been intensifying its scrutiny of high-profile government officials in recent months, prompting calls for transparency and accountability in public office. Observers note that the summons of a former AGF underscores the agency’s commitment to tackling corruption at all levels.

Although Malami has not publicly responded to the summons, his legal team is reportedly making preparations to comply with the EFCC’s request. Analysts suggest that the outcome of the questioning could have implications for ongoing investigations into public fund management and legal oversight in the federal government.

Civil society organizations have welcomed the development, describing it as a “positive step” toward ensuring that past and present officials are held accountable for alleged mismanagement or misconduct.
