Nigeria’s Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and
Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has said the recent media attacks
against him over the ongoing investigation of suspended Chairman of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, is a price to be
paid for serving the country.
Malami said this in a statement released by his
spokesperson, Umar Gwandu, on Sunday.
He, however, made it clear he will not relent in fighting
impunity by public office holders.
“I think that is the burden of leadership. Whoever is
appointed as a leader, it is only natural that in one way or the other one must
be attacked. The good one has been doing can hardly be seen when one remains in
office.
“It is a common tradition for people to attack the
President, Governors and those in the helm of affairs or in leadership
position. I cannot, certainly, be an exception.
“The good thing is our Constitution is clear. Our law is
clear about impunity and how can it be best handled and addressed. It is not
about attack on personalities, but compliance with the law. We are there to
fight impunity.
“The bottom line is whether in the fight against impunity we
are working in line and in tune with the law,” the statement read.
