Groups, Strongly Condemn The Detention Of Former Minister Abubakar Malami By The EFCC For Days Without Evidence Or Trial.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ulamah, legal practitioners, media practitioners, CSOs, Northern Youth, and Elders Forum strongly condemn the detention of former Minister Abubakar Malami by the EFCC for days without evidence or trial, a clear violation of the Nigerian Constitution.

In a joint press statement signed by Coordinator Dr. Abdulkadeer Abdulkareem, the groups express outrage:

"Detaining a former minister without proof or court proceedings is unacceptable. This smacks of political vendetta, not justice."

The coalition questions the timing, highlighting that Malami was detained only after switching parties:

"Why now? Why was he not invited before he left APC? This raises troubling suspicions."

The statement concludes with a firm demand:

1. The immediate and unconditional release of Abubakar Malami.
2. An end to what they describe as "baseless harassment driven by political motives."

Key excerpts:

"We warn the EFCC and the federal government: justice delayed is justice denied. Malami must not spend another day in custody without charges. We stand for the rule of law."

"We demand transparency. If there’s a case, present it. Otherwise, release him now."

Signed,

Dr. Abdulkadeer Abdulkareem
Coordinator, Ulamah, Legal Practitioners, Media Practitioners, CSOs, Northern Youth and Elders Forum.

This reflects the groups’ united stance, emphasizing constitutional rights, fairness, and their readiness to challenge perceived injustice.
