Former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) To Buhari, Malami Denies Link To Terrorism Financing
A former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has vehemently rejected allegations linking him to terrorism financing, following a report by SaharaReporters that named him among Nigerians allegedly connected to terror financiers.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The report, published on Friday, claimed that two suspects arrested in a counter-terrorism investigation were “linked to” Malami and other prominent Nigerians.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page, Malami, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), denied any involvement in terrorism financing. He emphasised that neither Nigerian nor international agencies have ever accused, investigated, or charged him in connection with terrorism financing.
“The retired military officer cited as the principal source did not accuse me of any wrongdoing,” Malami said, clarifying that the report misrepresented his role.
While Malami was never personally accused of any terrorism-related activities, his role during the Muhammadu Buhari administration has come under scrutiny. His tenure as AGF was marked by criticism over the government’s alleged concealment of the identities of high-profile terrorism financiers.
In May 2021, Malami publicly announced that investigations had revealed the involvement of many highly placed Nigerians and businessmen in terrorism financing. He assured the public that these financiers were being profiled for prosecution.
“We shall certainly and aggressively pursue those people that are involved in terrorist financing as far as the Nigerian State is concerned,” Malami had said.
However, despite these assurances, the identities of the suspects remained undisclosed, and the promised prosecutions were not publicly known to have taken place before the administration ended in May 2023.
Malami’s EFCC Questioning And Denial Of Mismanagement Claims
The allegations against Malami come amidst reports of his recent questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged mismanagement of national funds, including portions of the Abacha loot.
Malami was invited for questioning on November 28, 2025, and was later released on administrative bail. He denied the allegations and has not been charged with any crime related to the EFCC investigation.
In defense of his record, Malami pointed to his role in strengthening Nigeria’s anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) framework during his tenure.
He highlighted his involvement in the passage and implementation of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, which he said bolstered Nigeria’s legal regime against terrorism and updated penalties for terrorism-related offenses.
“These reforms were later assessed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and contributed to Nigeria’s removal from the FATF ‘grey list’ of jurisdictions under increased monitoring,” Malami stated, stressing that the reforms confirmed Nigeria’s compliance with global AML/CFT standards.
Malami urged media outlets to engage in responsible reporting on national security issues, reiterating his commitment to the rule of law and justice. He expressed concern over the potential damage caused by such allegations, stressing that his engagement with various stakeholders in his public capacity does not imply criminal involvement.
“Independent international evaluations of that nature are entirely inconsistent with any suggestion that those leading such reforms were, at the same time, colluding with or protecting terror financiers,” he stated.
The former AGF concluded by urging the media to avoid damaging reputations and undermining public confidence in state institutions.
He reaffirmed his dedication to strengthening Nigeria’s justice and security institutions, emphasizing that any engagement with stakeholders during his time in office was in line with his duties and did not suggest criminality.

The abductors killed the priest before the ultimatum lapsed and later released a picture of him and his wife on his Facebook page.
A family member, Avril, confirmed the latest development on X while addressing journalist Rufai Oseni.
“Please keep pushing the news that Ven. Edwin Achi’s wife Sarah Achi is still in captivity. Their captors recently uploaded a picture of her and daughter, with a gun pointed at them. Their demands are incoherent at this point,” he wrote.

Abdul, a skilled plaster-of-Paris (POP) artisan, had been contracted to work on a building, unaware that he was actually constructing his future home, the emotional revelation left him in tears of disbelief and gratitude.
In her words, she said:
“This particular house has a special story behind it, and the owner does not know it belongs to him. His name is Abdul Bambamba. He is actually an uncle to my children. I was married to his relative.
Even though the marriage failed, Abdul remained committed to me. He always cared for me and the children, even before I met my husband now. He has been a very special person to me.”
The gesture was more than just a gift; it was a recognition of years of loyalty and unwavering support. According to Senator Natasha, Abdul is more than an artisan, he is a family.
Even after her previous marriage ended, Abdul remained a steadfast presence, looking after her and her children through difficult times and significant milestones.
Overwhelmed by his humility, kindness, and steadfast loyalty, Senator Natasha decided to honor him in a way he would never expect: by giving him a home he had helped build with his own hands.
