Former Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has alleged a plot by the Department of State Services, DSS to re-arrest him from the Kuje prison.
Recall that the Federal High Court
on Wednesday granted Malami, his wife and his son bail in the sum of N500
million each with two sureties.
But in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media,
Mohammed Bello Doka, the former Minister alleged that DSS is currently carrying
out surveillance at the correctional center to get him re-arrested.
The statement reads, “We are now credibly informed that
fresh plans are underway to re-arrest Malami on what are believed to be
trumped-up and unrelated charges, immediately after his release on bail in the
current matter.
“Intelligence available to us further indicates that
operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have mounted surveillance
and are on standby to execute this plan.
“This pattern of actions, granting bail on paper while
preparing fresh arrests to ensure continued detention—represents a grave
assault on constitutional safeguards and an abuse of state power. It undermines
public confidence in the justice system and raises serious questions about
respect for judicial authority.
“We therefore place it clearly on record that the safety of
Abubakar Malami, SAN, his family, and his staff is under serious threat. Any
act of intimidation, unlawful detention, or harm arising from these actions
must be fully accounted for by those responsible”.
