Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has raised serious concerns following raids by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on his residences and offices. Malami stated that the actions have put his personal safety under threat.
Speaking to reporters, he claimed that the raids were politically motivated and not based on any legitimate legal grounds. Malami emphasized that the situation has caused him significant distress and raised fears for his family’s security.
He also noted that the EFCC actions have undermined public confidence in legal processes and stressed the need for agencies to act within the limits of the law. Malami urged relevant authorities to ensure that investigations are conducted fairly and without endangering individuals.
Legal experts have weighed in, suggesting that the protection of public officials during investigations is crucial. The situation continues to generate nationwide discussions about the independence and conduct of anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria.
