The immediate past Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has denied reports claiming that he was on the run over corruption allegations.
Shortly after the suspension of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, by President Bola Tinubu, many online reports claimed that Mr Malami had left the country in a bid to evade arrest.
But while speaking with Daily Trust Thursday night, Mr Malami said he had not received any invitation letter from the EFCC.
Accordingto him, contrary to the viral report, he hasn’t travel out of the he country.
He 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.”
