EFCC: Stop shedding fake crocodile tears – Adeyanju tells former AGF, Malami
Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has rejected former Attorney General Abubakar Malami’s claim that his arrest by the EFCC is politically motivated, describing it as “fake crocodile tears.”
Adeyanju urged the anti-graft agency to thoroughly investigate and prosecute Malami over alleged financial improprieties linked to his time in office, including issues surrounding the Abacha loot.
He stressed that public office is a position of trust and said Malami should face the same scrutiny he once subjected others to while in power.
Adeyanju said: “The EFCC should proceed without hesitation to investigate Mr Malami, particularly in relation to his stewardship while in office of all issues surrounding the Abacha loot.
“Malami showed no restraint while in government and wielded state power against everyone including members of the opposition. Having subjected others to prosecution, he cannot now escape from the same process.”
