Ex-AGF Malami Demands EFCC Chairman Step Aside, Seeks Arraignment or Release Within 24 Hours
Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has demanded that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) either arraign him before a competent court or release him within 24 hours, citing constitutional protections against unlawful detention. In a statement issued by his media aide, Malami alleged bias, political persecution, and a personal vendetta by EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede, linking it to his recent defection to the African Democratic Congress. He called for Olukoyede’s recusal and intervention by the Attorney-General of the Federation, warning that failure to act could damage institutional credibility. Malami criticized the EFCC for media harassment, procedural abuses, and reliance on foreign-convicted individuals as potential witnesses. The EFCC had previously defended its actions, stating that Malami failed to meet administrative bail conditions and insisting that the investigation is apolitical.
