The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has written a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, listing sources of his wealth following calls for his sack over corruption allegations.
In his letter, the minister told the President Buhari that he possessed lucrative investments before his appointment as a minister of the federation.
Malami, in the letter, stated that he listed 27 properties in his asset declaration form submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau.
“Among other things, I owned lucrative business ventures of Rayhaan Hotels and Rayhaan Food & Drinks, both in Kano, since December 13, 2013, years before the 2015 election that saw to the victory of President Muhamadu Buhari as the President and long before I was appointed to be a Minister in the first term,” Malami stated.
Lately, the AGF, who has been under scrutiny following allegations against him made by the suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, noted that the law “does not preclude me from gaining the fruit of my establishments.”
He further stated that he has initiated litigation against those who made the allegations against him.
