Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has been invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) as part of investigation into the attack on his convoy in Kebbi State recently.
Malami, who confirmed the invitation in a Facebook post on Monday, commended the DSS for the professional and transparent manner in which they have conducted their inquiry.
He posted “I can confirm that I have been invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) to support investigation over attack on my person and convoy in Kebbi State on the 1st of September, 2025.
“The petition is apparently triggered by opposition high profile political elements as in the state.
“I must commend the DSS for the professional and transparent manner in which they have conducted their inquiry. I was treated with dignity and respect and I remain committed to cooperating fully with the Department to ensure that their investigation is concluded successfully.”
Dateline Nigeria reports that Malami, who is now a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi State, had earlier petitioned the National Security Adviser (NSA), Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Director-General of the DSS, and others over the attack.
He described the attack as a coordinated plot to destabilize Kebbi through the importation of political thugs, foreign mercenaries, and illicit arms, adding that the situation amounts to a “national security emergency.”
