Abuja: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, after hours of interrogation by the anti-graft team.
Malami confirmed his release on his X account on Saturday.
The former minister said that he had been released and scheduled for another meeting with investigators.
He said that the reality behind the “fabricated allegations” levelled against him would become clearer with time.
“In line with my undertaking to keep Nigerians updated on my invitation by EFCC, I give glory to Allah for his divine intervention.
“The engagement was successful, and I am eventually released while on an appointment for further engagement as the truth relating to the fabricated allegations against me continues to unfold.”
The EFCC had summoned Malami through a letter dated Nov. 24, and signed by Sunday Ofen-Imu on behalf of its Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.
The EFCC did not disclose the specific allegations for which Mr Malami was invited.
