Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has stated that he is not on the run.
Malami stated this in reaction to calls for his arrest by Nigerians coupled with viral reports that he left the country in a bid to evade arrest and investigation.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday, June 14, suspended the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, over his conduct while in office.
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, Malami 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.”
