Malami denies resignation rumours

THE Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), says he has not resigned from office as reported in some quarters.

He said this today at the annual media conference organised by the National Association of Judiciary Correspondents (NAJUC) held in Abuja.

The Minister said: “Some unprofessional information disseminators will be taken aback that the Malami that was claimed to have resigned was seen in office discharging his functions including attending the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting yesterday (Wednesday), granting interviews to journalists and still today (Thursday) declaring this conference open as the AGF”.

He, however, appealed to journalists to refrain from “fake news, defamation, sedition, hate speech, blasphemy, and incitements of inflammatory statements in their reportage.”
