Abubakar Malami says he has no regrets over his tenure as minister and will vigorously defend himself against ongoing corruption-related charges.
Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has stated that he has no regrets over his actions while in office, following his release from custody. Malami, who is facing a 16-count charge of alleged money laundering alongside his wife and son, pleaded not guilty and vowed to defend himself against the allegations.
The former minister was rearrested on January 19 by operatives of the Department of State Services shortly after his initial release from Kuje Prison. He later accused security agencies of denying him access to his family and legal team, as well as violating his rights during searches conducted on his properties without his presence.
On February 27, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted him and his son bail in the sum of N200 million each over alleged terrorism-related offences, which they have since met. Despite the legal battles, Malami described his experience as “God’s will” and maintained that he remains resolute in clearing his name.
