Group Fingers Opponents In Malami’s Ordeal

A youth group, Kebbi Emancipation Network, has claimed that political foes were behind the incarceration of former attorney‑general of the federation and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The group’s secretary‑general, Comrade Musa Sani Kalgo, made the allegation at a press briefing in Birnin Kebbi.

He said the opponents were plotting against Malami because of his growing popularity, alongside that of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which threatens the APC’s electoral chances in Kebbi State.

Kalgo said, “The rising popularity of Malami and ADC across Kebbi State is seen as a big problem for them. Every Nigerian is watching with keen interest the shenanigans of the EFCC in relation to the travails of our brother. The injustice being meted out against him is unacceptable.

The network urged Kebbi elders to intervene and stop “bad politics,” demanding accountability for what it described as Malami’s unlawful detention.
