Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN, on Thursday denied engaging any police officer as his consultant.

In a rebuttal statement made available to the media, the Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, Malami said he could not descend so low to “engaging a quack or fake police officer to serve as his consultant”.

The Attorney General’s reaction came on the heel of a confession of one of the suspects during interrogation, in the penultimate week invasion of the Abuja residence of Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Mary Peter Odili.

Malami demanded that the suspect make public documents of engagements detailing where he worked as a consultant to him.

“We asked the suspect to present documents of engagements where he worked as a consultant to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, whether in past or now

“We boldly and unequivocally challenge the fake consultant/police officer to come out with answers or responses to these questions to the general public”.

Describing the confession as  “a case of a drowning man scavenging for a dying partner”, Malami said he is happy that investigation has commenced to not only unravel the circumstances and personalities behind the invasion  Justice Mary Odili’s home, but also the sponsored campaign of calumny against the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.

The statement continues: “With all the competent, high level professionals and capable human resources  available at the disposal of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, it only takes the imagination of the evil minds to assume or think that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will descend  so low to

 

 

 

 

 

It is our desire and we hope that the investigation would also disclose those after the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, those dragging his personality, his name and  his exalted office in the dirty politics of disrepute. This is an orchestrated attempt to stir unnecessary controversies and Public apprehension.

The Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice superintends over and respects the rule of law who will not do anything to undermine the sanctity of his office and that that entire judiciary and Justice sector”.
