Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has expressed confidence that the truth will prevail in the investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Speaking in a statement issued by his media office on Wednesday, disclosed that his recent questioning by the EFCC was strictly limited to clarifications on an alleged duplication in the recovery of Abacha loot.

He added that the interview session had nothing to do with terrorism financing, money laundering or the ownership of multiple bank accounts.

“My engagement with the EFCC was strictly limited to addressing concerns about an alleged duplication of the recovery process. That was the only issue they sought clarification on.

“I comprehensively demonstrated to the EFCC that no duplication occurred because the funds were not lodged into the Federation Account before 2016. There was no completed recovery at the time.

“Efforts to twist the facts and present the recoveries as duplication are nothing but deliberate mischief.

“I remain confident that truth will prevail over political witch-hunt, misinformation and intimidation,” part of the statement reads.
