Wednesday, September 24, 2025 - The Department of State Services (DSS) has interrogated former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, over the September 1 attack on his convoy in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
Malami confirmed he was questioned at the DSS Birnin Kebbi
Command, describing the exercise as professional and transparent. The incident
occurred after he returned from a condolence visit to the family of the late
Chief Imam of Dr Bello Haliru Jumu’ah Mosque. Witnesses said suspected
political thugs vandalised about 10 vehicles in his convoy and injured several
supporters.
Malami had earlier labelled the attack “politically
motivated.” While the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) distanced itself
from the violence, he petitioned security agencies, including the police and
DSS.
In a statement shared on Facebook, the former minister said
he was treated with “dignity and respect” during the interrogation.
“I remain committed to cooperating fully with the Department
to ensure that their investigation is concluded successfully,” he added.
