The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, on Wednesday told the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters that investigation into the alleged forgery of Senate Standing Rules was concluded before his appointment as minister.

Malami appeared before the six –member Senate panel for dragging Senate President, Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and two others to court over alleged forgery of the Senate rule.

The committee is investigating the allegation of “imminent threat to Nigeria’s democracy” leveled against the AGF.

The members of the committee are -Senator David Umaru (Chairman), James Manager, Joshua Lidani, Babajide Omoworare, Chukwuka Utazi and Ovie Omo-Agege.

Malami told the committee that he is under obligation to do whatever that can possibly be done to sustain democracy and the course of justice.

He listed the suits in court on the matter and went further to tell the committee that the police completed investigation into the matter before he was appointed.

He said, “As at the time I came to office, there existed report of investigation into the matter. At the time I came to office, I had obligation to file action in relation to the investigation. The suit was filed in furtherance of the concluded investigation.”

The AGF said he had no desire whatsoever to threaten democracy.

Malami insisted that the Senate lacked power to investigate a case pending in court.

He reminded the committee that when a case is in court, no arm of government apart from the judiciary should look into it.www.supremereporters.com
