AGF MALAMI: “I DIDN’T EXONERATE KYARI, I ONLY ASK FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION”

 

Nigeria’s Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has described as false the media reports that his Office had conclusively exonerated Abba Kyari.

Media reports early Sunday had claimed that the Attorney General of the Federation had giving a new legal advice to the Inspector General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba, suggesting that Abba Kari is not linked to the $1.1million Hushpuppi internet scam.

However, Malami in a statement by Dr. Umar Gwandu, Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, said “there appears to be misunderstanding regarding the issue.

“It was a case of work in progress in respect of which the office of the Attorney General of the federation requested for further probe in relation to some aspects of investigation.”

Dr. Gwandu said that It was clear that the conclusion on the alleged contradiction on the issue was a clear case of  misconception.

“The office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice’s stance is that no conclusion has been reached in the direction of absence of evidence relating to the first report.

“The issues were raised  for further investigation with a view to cover the field in investigation in order to arrived at informed decision.
