BREAKING: Malami accuses EFCC chair of bias, demands recusal from investigation
Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has called on the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukayode, to step aside from overseeing the ongoing investigation against him.
Malami accused the EFCC boss of bias, personal vendetta and political persecution, which he linked to his recent defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement issued on Monday through his media aide, Muhammad Doka, the former AGF alleged that the EFCC had subjected him to unlawful detention, media intimidation and gross procedural violations.
He maintained that the investigation was not motivated by genuine law-enforcement objectives but by what he described as long-standing animosity within the EFCC leadership.
“I have been clearly pre-judged and cannot receive a fair, objective or lawful investigation under the current leadership of the EFCC,” Malami said, insisting that Olukayode’s continued involvement compromises the integrity of the probe.
