A former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has confirmed that he was invited by the State Security Services, SSS, over the recent attack on his convoy in Kebbi State.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page on Monday, Mr Malami said the invitation was connected to the incident which occurred on September 1, 2025.
“I can confirm that I have been invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) to support investigation over the attack on my person and convoy in Kebbi State,” he said.
The former minister alleged that the petition leading to his invitation was instigated by “opposition high-profile political elements” in the state.
While commending the SSS, Mr Malami expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the security agency.
“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,” the statement read.
