The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has summoned former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, for questioning over yet-to-be-disclosed matters.

Malami confirmed the invitation on Friday through a post on his Facebook page, stating that he had received a formal request from the anti-graft agency. He assured Nigerians that he would honour the summons without hesitation.

“I would like to inform my family and friends that I have been summoned by the EFCC to provide clarification on certain matters, and as a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I am determined to honour this invitation without any hesitation,” he wrote.

The former minister reaffirmed his commitment to honesty, integrity, and accountability—values he said shaped his years in public office.

“I believe in the importance of honesty, integrity and accountability in governance; these are principles that I have long supported and upheld over the years of my public service,” he added.

Malami further pledged to keep Nigerians updated on any developments arising from the EFCC invitation.

As of the time of filing this report, the EFCC had not disclosed the specific issues for which the former AGF was summoned.
