The statement noted that perhaps the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could
be an appropriate Ministry for such correspondence and therefore
reiterated the fact that Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation
and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami did not receive such a
letter.
“Attorney-General of the Federation finds media reports on the
purported claim of such correspondence to his office, peddled by some
unscrupulous elements in the society, as not only inappropriate but
inaccurate”, the statement said.
“It is essential to put in the record that the so-called letter has
not been received at the office of the Attorney-General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN as the close
of the work of Friday 20th December, 2019”.
