Malami: AGF
THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly seized the international passport of former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, following his ongoing investigation.
Malami, a senior advocate, who was released around 1am on Saturday, November 28, after hours of interrogation, has now been placed under a one-month restriction that compels him to report at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja every day.
SECURITY MONITOR gathers that the travel ban was necessary to prevent any interruption in the ongoing probe.
It also noted that Malami had significant questions to answer over how alleged $490 million loot of the late Head of State Sani Abacha was managed under his watch.
The report further stressed that the decision to seize Malami’s passport was informed by the volume of documents he is expected to review and myriads of questions waiting ahead for him to answer.
