The office of the Attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice says, its attention has been drawn to an allegation made by one, Victor Giwa, accusing Abubakar Malami, of conniving with one Donald Wokoma to witch-hunt him over his refusal to testify against the suspended chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.
This was stated in a press release by the special assistant on media and public relations, the office of the attorney-general of the federation and Minister of Justice, Umar Gwandu, that Malami never met Giwa and has never discussed any issue with the so-called Donald Wokoma, nor asked anybody to engage the so-called Victor to testify against Magu.
Gwandu said that Malami is not a member, neither did he set up the ongoing retired Justice Ayo Sami-led presidential panel probing Magu and as such, is not saddled with any responsibility to procure witness(es) for the panel.
He also said that the claim by Victor Giwa, is therefore fictitious, unfounded and is to falsely cast aspersion on the AGF’s reputation.
He however said that Malami has summoned the so-called victor giwa to substantiate his allegation, stating
When, where and how Malami met with victor giwa on the issue.
