A former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has confirmed that he received an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and assured Nigerians that he is willing to appear before it.

Malami described himself as a law-abiding citizen who is committed to accountability and transparency in public service in a post on his personal Facebook page on Friday.

“This is to confirm that I have been invited by the EFCC. As a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I hereby reaffirm my commitment to honour the invitation,” he wrote.

He added that his decision to publicly announce the development was due to his long-standing advocacy for openness and responsible governance.

“I understand the spirit of accountability and transparency in public service — principles that I both advocate and champion,” he added, noting that he would keep the public informed as events unfold.

Malami served as Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice from 2015 to 2023 under former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The EFCC has not released details of its invitation to the former attorney-general at the time of reporting this.
