EFCC: Malami Denies Links to 46 Bank Accounts, Abacha Loot.
Former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami has denied allegations of operating 46 bank accounts and having links to the late dictator Gen. Sani Abacha’s loot, according to his media aide, Bello Doka.
Doka stated that Malami has only six bank accounts, which are known to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and has no hand in any financial misconduct. He described the allegations as “ridiculous and baseless,” saying the EFCC has no evidence to support the claims.
Doka challenged the EFCC to publish at least 23 of the alleged bank accounts, representing 50% of the total, and urged the commission to disclaim or withdraw the allegations. He noted that the EFCC did not officially notify Malami of the allegations when he was invited for questioning, and media engagements on the issue are insufficient to prove the allegations.
Malami has expressed willingness to cooperate with investigators and thanked his followers for their support. The EFCC has not responded to the allegations, and it remains unclear what further action will be taken.
