If am Buhari

The 7 deadly sins of AGF

i.  I will ask him to step aside for investigation number two...n January, Malami blocked investigation of the Nigeria Incentive-based Risk Sharing System for Agriculture Lending boss Aliyu Abdulhameed alleged to have awaded a N2bn contract to his son whom the Dubai police already jailed for money launderin. ii He directed a firm, Omoh-Jay Nigeria Ltd, to sell crude oil and diesel in four sea vessels through an open bid, when he knew the company was facing trial for allegedly stealing about 12,000 metric tonnes of crude oil loaded in a vessel. Malami said he got Buhari’s order to sell the vessel in 2017, Malami also wrote to Buhari to abandon the storied Malabu Oil deal scandal whose prosecution in Italy has seen top officials of oil companies involved indicted. It’s a nine-year-old case Nigeria is so much invested, an the suspects include many successive oil ministers, including Da Etete, Diezani Allison-Madueke, ex-AGF Mohammed Adoke.. But Malami claim there’s nothing in it.

iii In 2017, He also ordered Katsina justice commissioner to take over an ICPC case involving mismanagement of N5.7b of Sure-P fund in the state. The suspects were discharged November that year. 

iv In 2016, Malami also began move to take over no fewer than 103 high-profile cases, including those of many politically exposed people in Nigeria. He eventually got the files from EFCC. His claim: As AGF, he has the constitutional rights to take over prosecution from the EFCC, ICPC, and the police.

v. In 2018, Malami again butted into a decades-old case of asset repatriation of the late dictator Sani Abacha. The AGF brought his own lawyers into the cases handled and largely delievered by Enrico Monfini, a Swiss layer who had been on the cases for over a decade. Malami lawyers eventually sliced off 10 percent as recovery fee from the $321m recovered from Switzerland. 

vi. To cap it all, series of investigation by Sahara Reporters recently uncovered multimillion-naira assets, mostly landed properties in Kano, Abuja, Kebbi, belonging to the AGF, his sons, and other family members. According to the online muckraker, Malami, a little know lawyer allegedly acquired the properties within five years of being in office.

In conclusion, malami can be investigated in order to know the reality of Magu's interference claim during the cause of presidential investigative panel (my view).
