After endorsing the illegal removal of a serving Chief Justice of Nigeria, raiding of judges’ homes at night by the operatives of the Department of State Services, and disobedience to court orders, a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, is crying persecution over his court-ordered detention, Ejiofor Alike reports
What is happening currently to a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), who has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since December 8, has again confirmed the transience of power. For eight years, Malami bestrode Nigeria’s legal system as an accuser, the prosecutor and a judge, under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The former Chief Law Officer of the Federation openly disrespected court orders, endorsed the illegal removal of a serving Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen; approved the raiding of judges’ homes at midnight by the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), and turned a blind eye to the unlawful detention of Nigerians.
