‘You do not have constitutional right to probe me’ – Former AGN Malami calls out EFCC Boss
Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Chika Malami, has described his continued detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as a personal vendetta allegedly driven by the EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede.
In a statement issued through his media aide, Muhammed Bello Doka, Malami said the EFCC chairman lacks the moral and constitutional authority to detain or investigate him.
He claimed that a long-standing sour relationship with the EFCC boss, allegedly worsened by the activities of the Ayo Salami committee, has fuelled hostility against him, turning the matter into what he described as a personal pursuit rather than a lawful investigation.
“No law in the country allows a man to investigate a suspect he had a long-standing frosty relationship with, detain or investigate him, his continued stay in the custody of EFCC constitute bare human rights abuse.”
He insisted that the commission boss lacks moral and constitutional rights to investigate Malami because there already exists a personal dislike.
Doka stressed that the EFCC boss has no right to continue to preside over a matter that is legally untenable and indefensible between him and Malami; therefore, he should allow constitutional procedure to guide the matter, not continue to detain him without a cogent reason, which, if any, is driven by personal vendetta.
