The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has denied he contracted any consultant or police officer to carry out the invasion of the Abuja home of Justice Mary Odili.

The AGF called on the suspect to produce evidence of contractual agreement between them, the terms of references for the alleged consultancy service and when he was engaged.

Malami made the refutal in a statement issued on Thursday by his media aide, Dr Umar Gwandu, while reacting to a confession of a suspect during interrogation in the investigation of the recent invasion of the residence of Justice Odili.

The AGF stated that with all the competent, high-level professionals and capable human resources available at his disposal, that “it only takes the imagination of the evil minds to assume or think that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will descend so low to engaging a quack or fake police officer to serve as his consultant.

“This is a case of a drowning man scavenging for a dying partner. We are happy to note that investigation has commenced unravelling the circumstances and personalities behind the invasion and sponsored campaign of calumny against the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.

“It is our desire and we hope that the investigation would also disclose those after the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, those dragging his personality, his name and his exalted office in the dirty politics of disrepute.

“This is an orchestrated attempt to stir unnecessary controversies and Public apprehension.

“We asked the suspect to present documents of engagements where he worked as a consultant to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, whether in the past or now.

“Consultant for what? Which activity or assignment? When was he engaged? What were the terms of references for the alleged consultancy service? When was he engaged? Where was he engaged? Which worked has he executed for the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and the Ministry of Justice? For what duration? And for how much?

“We boldly and unequivocally challenge the fake consultant/police officer to come out with answers or responses to these questions to the general public.”
