Like EFCC, DSS, Buhari’s minister distances self from raid on Justice Odili’s home
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has explained that he was not involved in the raid on the Abuja residence of a Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Mary Odili.

Security operatives earlier on Friday stormed the residence of Justice Odili claiming that they received information on “illegal activities” in the house.

TheNewsGuru.com, TNG reports that the Department of State Services (DSS) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had earlier denied involvement in the raid on the justice’s home.

In a similar vein, the minister in a statement on Saturday said as the Attorney General of the Federation he will not be associated with “an apparent in-elegant and nasty court process” of which the search warrant, presented by the security operatives, was procured.

He also picked faults in the details of the search warrant noting that the reference to “Ministry of Justice” was ambiguous and without clarifying as to whether it is Federal or State Ministry and of which State.

The search warrant documents presented by the security operatives and made available to journalists read that it was granted to the Joint Panel Recovery unit of the Federal Ministry of Justice

Malami, in the statement, however, clarified that there is nothing called “Joint Panel Recovery Under the Ministry of Justice” in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, and by extension the entire Federal Ministry of Justice.

According to him, what the Ministry has is “Assets Recovery and Management Unit” and its mandate does not include stings operations.

He stressed that there are “numerous incongruities” in the documents thereby revealing traces of criminal actions.

Justice Odili: I was not involved, Count me Out, says Malami

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN was not in any way connected with the fabrications and concocted lies linking him to the ensued imbroglio relating to news stories about the residence of a Justice of the Supreme Court; Justice Mary Odili.

This is made known in a statement by Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and made available to newsmen on Saturday the 30th day of October, 2021.

He said the clarification to debunk the mischievous publication became imperative in view of the media hype and the dimension the story is taking.

It is important to set the record straight that as the Chief Law Officer of the Federation, Malami will not stoop too low to be associated with an apparent in-elegant and nasty court process on the strength of which the purported search warrant was procured.

The media reports on the issue depict too untidy process that could never emanate from the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.

The general public need to know that there was nothing called “Joint Panel Recovery Under the Ministry of Justice” in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, and by extension the entire Federal Ministry of Justice.

What we have is “Assets Recovery and Management Unit” the mandate of which does not include stings operations.

Numerous incongruities in the documents being circulated in relation to the saga reveal traces of criminal actions which particular regards to:
1. The name as contained on the purported letter headed paper “Ghost’s Account For Local Whistle Blowers & Assets Tax Recovery Panel”,
2. The ambiguous reference to “Ministry of Justice” without clarifying as to whether it is Federal or State Ministry and of which State,
3. The claimed office address which as revealed by the letter headed paper is not the address of the Federal Ministry of Justice
4. Email address used on the letter
All these deductions would have assisted a discerning mind to arrive at a reasonable conclusion of criminal undertones associated with the court process on the basis of which the purported search warrant was procured.

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has since reached out to the relevant authorities for an intensified wider investigation on the matter for necessary actions leading to the prosecution of anyone involved in the matter in view of the fact that the only names on record from the process filed in court are a purported police officer who claimed to be “O/C Assets Recovery Team” and one Aliyu Umar a deponent in the affidavit.

The claim of the chief magistrate as reported by a section of the media to the effect that he was being misled by office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice into the issuance of the search warrant is equally forwarded to the relevant investigation agencies to ascertain veracity or otherwise of the purported association of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and which officer if any in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice is associated with such claimed misrepresentation.

Malami and the ‘Emergency rule’ in Anambra – Carl Umegboro

By Carl Umegboro

The Attorney General of the Federation/Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) last week threatened that the federal government may proclaim a State of Emergency in Anambra state. The state suddenly changed from its peaceful nature as the November 6 governorship election approaches to violence by unknown gunmen. A prominent figure, Dr. Chike Akunyili, sadly lost his life in the imbroglio, amongst others. In total, about 10 persons had lost their lives to the unknown gunmen lately. However, many believe the violence is politically-motivated with a plot to manipulate the forthcoming governorship election in the state. Malami, who is also in APC-Anambra Campaign Council despite the sensitive position he occupies in the government displays the same body language like APC candidate, Andy Uba endorsing emergency rule. And the state witnessed similar mayhem when the present APC candidate contested in the PDP platform during Obasanjo’s administration.

Since Malami’s remarks, criticisms from leaders-of-thought have continued to trail it. The state governor, Willie Obiano without taking chances has reported the AGF to his principal, President Muhammadu Buhari. In fact, people were stunned that Malami whose state, Kebbi has also been under siege for years by banditry including countless abduction of school children could recommend Emergency rule on Anambra for a violence of few weeks. Though, Anambra violence is totally condemned, nonetheless, it must be noted that it doesn’t measure a fraction of the casualties the nation has recorded in places like Borno, Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Yobe, Niger, Adamawa, Taraba and others where terrorists have not only killed several thousands of citizens but also attacked military formations and slaughtered soldiers and other security officers. Terrorists have even brought down some sophisticated combat aircrafts. Amid these outrageous developments, Malami remains silent.

To be candid, this episode and other previous allegations that linked AGF-Malami leave much to be desired of the occupant of the sensitive position. Instructively, AGF must be nonpartisan. Unfortunately, under his watch, many developments had pointed to partisanship. Even the courts were recently used in obtaining frivolous orders as in the past. These inadequacies triumphed during the previous administrations which Buhari vowed to stop by his ‘Change’ mantra. Thus, there’s no better time for President Buhari to put his house in order. Over the weekend, Chancellor of Austria, Sebastian Kurz voluntarily stepped down from office to clear himself of corruption allegations. This is an iconic leadership template.

Remarkably, President Buhari unyieldingly displayed statesmanship during the Edo election, and didn’t allow federal bullying interfere with the will of the people. Convincingly, Buhari can do it again, and must not allow his aides to defecate on his hard-earned integrity. Nigeria cannot go back to the dark years when governors were imposed on people through federal might. To AGF-Malami, the question begging for answers is; if a state is under attack, between the President who is the Chief security officer and commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and the governor handicapped by the constitution, who should be liable? For emphasis, by constitutional arrangement, all security agencies take directives from the president. Hence, the call for Emergency rule in Anambra; believably a script to foist a lapdog against the popular-will is an indictment on the federal government. Even though the believably sponsored-mayhems cannot be compared with that of Borno or other states under a siege, however, it is worrisome as Anambra state for over 16 years has enjoyed peace, stability and progress.

Again and importantly, there are numerous untreated issues particularly allegations of misconducts linking some government officials, and the masses deserve to know how those weighty allegations were investigated. That is how other countries of the world make progress. As a matter of fact, had the various protests been tied to any specific and meaningful issue instead of ‘Revolution-Now ‘or ‘Buhari-Must-Go’ they would have made serious impacts. Had any been directed towards the probity of any public officeholder, certainly, it must succeed with popular support as accountability is key in public service. But the organizers took it personally and misfired. Public officeholders cannot do whatever they like against standard norms.

For example, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore had in a series of publications alleged that AGF-Malami, a public officeholder acquired several properties that run into billions of naira since appointment in Buhari’s government. It added that Malami has an underground hotel in Sokoto, three houses at Peace Estate, Abuja, a brand new state-of-the-art school in Kebbi, two houses for his sons worth N100million each, and a new hotel under construction in the Jabi area of Abuja. Others include a house he bought in 2020 worth N150million in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja, a newly constructed school located at the back of NITEL in Gesse Phase 1, Birnin-Kebbi, and a new house worth N600million on Ahmadu Bello Way, Nassarawa GRA, Kano. Furthermore, the whistle blew that Malami also built a N3billion multipurpose event-center in Kebbi state named Azbir Arena for his son, and Rayhaan Hotel located on Zaria Road, opposite Mallam Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. As a public officeholder, investigation is necessary. What a list amid masses’ sufferings! Amid these allegations, instead of responding to them, Malami exposed the EFCC boss then, Ibrahim Magu, booted him out of office, and installed his loyalist. Perhaps for ‘protection’.

Despite the alleged weighty financial misconducts by Magu, he was merely sacked. The indictments cannot be a party affair. The public deserve to know what transpired that led to the coded removal of Magu from office, strangely, without prosecution. Magu cannot be shielded on the alleged diversion of proceeds recovered from corruption. Otherwise, the government should be willing to release all the helpless masses languishing in various Correctional centres across the country even for lesser crimes. These are where mass actions are requisite. And the government must treat these matters seriously and urgently. Some people cannot be above the law or sacred cows.

It must be recalled that this is a government that didn’t spare a Chief Justice of Nigeria in office who hails from another region, but docked him publicly over alleged illicit assets acquisition, and kicked him out of office before his term elapsed. Buhari, the time to act is now.

Obiano runs to Buhari over Malami’s emergency rule threats in Anambra, says president not in support

Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is not in support of the proposed state of emergency in the state.

Obiano stated this on Thursday after a meeting with the President at the villa in Abuja.

According to the governor, President Buhari does not want any form of intimidation ahead of the polls.

Governor Obiano who further stated that he has reported the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami to Buhari, described as “unfortunate” the comments suggesting that the State of Emergency could be imposed on Anambra to engender security of lives.

The governor, while expressing his displeasure at the fact that Malami did not make such an assertion regarding the crisis brewing in other northern states, advised the justice minister to reserve his expressions over such issues.

The governor also rejected assertions that members of the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state House of Assembly had defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC), explaining that the members were given a hundred million each to join the opposition.

TheNewsGuru.com, TNG reports that following the wave of insecurity ravaging Anambra State and the southeast region in general, the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, announced on Wednesday that a state of emergency may be imposed.

According to Malami, the move would be made in a bid to tighten security ahead of the November 6 governorship election in the state.

Malami said the government will do everything possible to ensure the protection of lives and property adding that where there is evidence of a failure of the state government to ensure democratic order and security of lives, the Federal Government will prevail and will not rule out the possibility of imposing a state of emergency.

Recent violent events in Anambra have stirred doubts regarding the possibility of holding a free and fair election in the state come November.

TNG recalls that in the last couple of weeks, at least 10 persons have been killed in various attacks across the state, forcing leaders to begin critical deliberations as to how the tide can be stemmed.

On Tuesday the South-East Governors’ Forum said the ‘Ebube Agu’ security outfit will be established in all five states before the end of the year.

The governors said this as part of their eight-point agenda during a meeting that took place at the Enugu State Government House.

“The meeting agreed that the South-East Ebube Agu security outfit is launched in all the southeast states and laws passed in various southeast states before the end of 2021,” the communique read.

The security outfit was established in April as part of plans to checkmate the rising unrest in the region.

Insecurity: Anambra faces state of emergency ahead of Nov 6 guber

A state of emergency necessitated by insecurity is looming in the southeast state of Anambra, the federal government hinted Wednesday.

The attorney general of the federation and minister of justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, disclosed this in Abuja during an interaction with newsmen after a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said the measure was to ensure a hitch-free Nov 6 governorship election in the state.

Malami said: “When our national security is attacked, and the sanctity of our constitutionally guaranteed democracy is threatened, no possibility is ruled out.

“As a government, we have a responsibility to ensure the sustenance of our democratic order. As a government, we have a responsibility to provide security to lives and property.

“So, within the context of these constitutional obligations, of the government or the desire to establish democratic norms and order, there is no possibility that is out ruled.

“The government will certainly do the needful in terms of ensuring that our elections are held in Anambra in terms of ensuring necessary security is provided, and in terms of ensuring protection is accorded to lives and property.

“What I’m saying in essence, no possibility is outruled by government in terms of ensuring the sanctity of our democratic order, in terms of ensuring that our elections in Anambra hold, and you cannot out rule possibilities inclusive of the possibility of a declaration of a state of emergency where it is established, in essence, that there is a failure on the part of the state government to ensure the sanctity of security of lives, property and the democratic order.

“So, we resolve to have these elections. The elections are going to hold and no possibilities are ruled out in terms of ensuring the provision of security, for the purpose of the conduct of the election, as well as Anambra, is concerned.”

FG to file fresh charges against Sunday Igboho

The Federal Government may file a fresh action against Yoruba secessionist agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (also know as Sunday Igboho), following the judgment of Oyo State High Court which awarded N20 billion in damages in his favour.

The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York that the federal government had the right to appeal the Judgement or file a fresh charge.

The judge, Ladiran Akintola, had awarded the money as “an exemplary and aggravated damages” against the AGF and the State Security Service (SSS), over the invasion of Adeyemo’s home in Ibadan on July 1.

However, Malami said the position of the federal government on the judgment was about “law and jurisdiction”.

“As far as this matter is concerned, which court is it that has the jurisdiction to determine it? And as you rightly know, obedient to court orders and court judgments,” he said.

“But then you have to understand within the context of such obedience that there are associated rights and interests that are vested in the Federal Government.

“Inclusive of rights of appealing against a judgment, inclusive of right to file an application for settingaside the purported judgment and order.

“And indeed, inclusive of the possibility of filling a fresh action if indeed the jurisdiction of the court that was alleged to have indeed handed that judgment is an issue.

“So, we are doing the needful in terms of looking at the law as it exists and then working within the context of the law in ensuring that justice is done as far as the contending issues between the parties are concerned,’’ the minister explained.

NAN recalls that Igboho’s counsel, Yomi Alliyu, SAN, had filed a N500 billion fundamental human rights enforcement suit against the AGF, SSS and the Director of the SSS in Oyo State over the invasion of his home in Ibadan on July 1.

Alliyu claimed that his client’s house and cars were damaged, while two occupants of the house were killed by SSS operatives during the incident.

However, counsel to AGF, Abdullah Abubakar, had argued that there was no evidence before the court that the blood seen in the video clip tendered by Alliyu belonged to a human being.

Abubakar also said there was nothing in the video clip that showed that the house that was invaded belonged to Igboho or linked the AGF with the invasion.

Adeyemo is still being held in the Republic of Benin where he was arrested some weeks ago while trying to flee to Germany.

FG has identified, blocked terrorism financiers in Nigeria – Malami

The Federal Government has suceeded in blocking terrorism financing in Nigeria, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has said.

Malami told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York that the federal government had also succeeded in identifying and detaining “high profile individuals” responsible for funding terrorists’ activities in the country.

The AGF had announced in May that Nigerian government was about to begin the prosecution of about 400 suspected Boko Haram financiers and was profiling some high-profile Nigerians strongly suspected to be financing terrorism for prosecution.

The delay in their prosecution and unveiling the suspects have been criticised in certain quarters, but Malami assured the federal government was determined to take stringent measures to counter insurgency in the country.

“We have succeeded in identifying those that are responsible for funding terrorists,” the minister said.

“We have also blocked the leakages associated with funding and then embarking on aggressive investigation that is indeed impacting positively in term of the fight against terrorism.

“But then, the truth of the matter is that investigation is ongoing, is advancing and for the purpose of investigation, I wouldn’t like to be pre-emptive in terms of making disclosures that would have the effect of undermining the successes we are recording as far as investigation is concerned.

“But one thing I can tell you for sure is that whatever we do in terms of detention and in terms of arrest is indeed backed by judicial process.

“We have indeed obtained a legitimate court order taking into consideration what we have presented before the court; the court eventually exercised its discretion in terms of granting orders that we can have them in custody.

“This is pending the conclusion of investigation, which investigation in essence is indeed deeply taking place and we are making a lot of successes and recording a lot of progress in the direction of investigation.”

The chief law officer of Nigeria, however, said the issue of terrorism financing was a work in progress and would not like to be pre-emptive in terms of investigation.

“But one thing I can say for sure is, arising from such arrests, the terrorist funding and financing has indeed been crippled substantially and that eventually translated to some major improvements being recorded as far as crippling the strength of terrorists is concerned within the nation.

“You can see visibly that we are indeed witnessing tremendous successes associated with the Boko Haram, which translate to significant decimation of the Boko Haram terrorists.

“They (Boko Haram) have been decimated to a larger extent and you can see what is unfolding as far as the North West banditry activities are concerned.

“They (bandits) are as well been decimated to a larger degree. All these are indeed the effect of what we have done,” he said.

Malami also said that Nigeria was creating a consensus building towards making assets recovery easier for countries.

The minister recalled that Nigeria had recovered 322 million dollars from Switzerland in 2017 and 311 million dollars from the U.S. in 2020.

He said Nigeria was looking at the possibility of recovering further 200 million pounds from the U.S. aside other associated assets being pursued in some other countries.

“We are pursuing a lot of assets across the globe and we intend very soon, we are coordinating a further meeting relating to huge recovery in U.K. associated with certain personalities.

“But I would not like to give further disclosure in respect of that to put into consideration the need not to be pre-emptive as far as our strategies are concerned.

He said the 311 million dollars recovered from Switzerland was deployed to execute the Abuja-Kano highway, the Lagos-Ibadan highway and the Second Niger Bridge.

“So I think we are doing wonderfully well in terms of deploying the recovery of the looted assets and deploying same in projects that impact positively on the lives of people,” he said.

DSS’ invasion of Igboho’s residence: FG to appeal N20bn high court judgement, says Malami

The Federal Government says it will appeal against the judgment of an Oyo State High Court which awarded N20 billion in damages against the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Department of State Services(DSS) for the purported invasion of Sunday Adeyemo’s residence by the DSS on July 1.

The court sitting in Ibadan had awarded the amount in a fundamental human rights suit brought by the self-styled Yoruba nation activist, Adeyemo, also known as Igboho, against the defendants for the invasion of his residence in the Soka area of the Oyo State capital.

The AGF, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN), however, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday that the Federal Government would appeal the judgment, and that already the process of appeal had begun.

NAN recalled that Igboho’s counsel, Mr Yomi Alliyu (SAN) , had filed a N500 billion fundamental human rights enforcement suit against the AGF, DSS and Director of State Services in Oyo State, over the the incident.

Alliyu also claimed that his client ‘s house and cars were damaged, while two occupants of the house were killed by the security agents.

But, counsel to the AGF, Mr Abdullah Abubakar, had argued that there was no evidence before the court that the blood seen in the video clip tendered by Alliyu belonged to a human being.

Abubakar also urged the court to disregard the exhibit and dismiss the entire suit because there was nothing in the video clip that indicated the house that was invaded belonged to Igboho or linked the AGF with the invasion.

Counsel to the DSS, T. A. Nurudeen, aligned himself with the submissions of the counsel to the AGF insisting that there must be proof from a haematologist to show that the blood seen in the video belonged to a human being.

Nurudeen also tendered a video clip which was admitted by the court where Igboho allegedly threatened to create an Oduduwa Republic, while urging the Yoruba to protect themselves with charms and guns.

Delivering his judgment on Friday, Justice Ladiran Akintola, however, said the style and procedures adopted by the DSS in the incident was unprofessional.

Akintola said that the applicant had demonstrated to the court that his fundamental human rights to personal liberty, right to life and blocking of his account amounted to violations of his rights.

He awarded the sum of N20 billion as exemplary and aggravated damages in favour of the applicant against the respondents and N2 million cost for instituting the case.

Kyari/Hushpuppi’s romance: Panel report submitted to Malami; ball now in Buhari’s court – Police minister

The Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi on Tuesday said President Muhammadu Buhari will take the final decision on the suspended and disgraced former head of the Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari.

Dingyadi disclosed this on Tuesday while featuring as a guest on Channels Television programme ‘Politics Today’.

He said the Nigerian government is trying to ensure that due diligence is done on the matter because it has international connotations.

The minister said, “The issue of Abba Kyari has become a public domain and I think by now everybody has heard that the police in their very wisdom, in their usual way of becoming transparent and fair to all have set up a committee to investigate all these allegations”.

“We have also reported that the committee has submitted the report to the Inspector General of Police (IGP). We have also submitted this report and recommendations to the Attorney-General of the Federation for a legal opinion, thereafter, we will take it to Mr President for final consideration.

“So, you can see that even though this matter is a local matter here, it has some international connotations. We have to do some due diligence to ensure that we do the right thing. We have to do some consultations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice before a final decision will be taken.

“But what is important is that Nigerians should know that the police management is up and doing and they have done what they are supposed to do. I hope people will wait and see what actions will be taken on this matter.”

Kyari had been indicted by the FBI in a $1.1 million Internet scam allegedly carried out by a serial internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi and four others.

The commission had earlier suspended Kyari with effect from July 31 pending the outcome of the police investigation.

Falana tackles Malami, demands prosecution of ‘arrested’ 400 sponsors of terrorism

Human Rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, SAN has demanded for prosecution of about 400 sponsors of terrorism reported to have been arrested by the federal government some months ago.

In a Freedom of Information, FIO requested dated August 3, 2021 and forwarded to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, Falana is also demanding for information on the charges which ought to have filed against the arrested terrorism sponsors.
