I’m Clean!” – Malami Blasts EFCC Claims Linking Him To Abacha Loot, Unlawful Bank Accounts

In a statement released by his media aide, Bello Doka, Malami described the allegations as “ridiculous and baseless,” affirming that he holds only six bank accounts, all of which are already known to the EFCC.
Doka stressed that the former minister has no connection to the recovered Abacha funds or any other financial improprieties circulating in the media.
“The EFCC is fully aware of his six accounts; claims of him operating 46 unlawful accounts are absurd and unfounded. For the record, the former minister has no involvement with Abacha loot or any other alleged recoveries,” Doka said.
He further noted that Malami was not formally notified about the 46-account allegation prior to his invitation for questioning.
Challenging the anti-graft agency, Doka urged the EFCC to substantiate its claims through proper legal channels rather than media statements. He specifically demanded that the Commission either publish at least 23 of the alleged 46 accounts to validate their claim or retract the allegations entirely.
Doka concluded by affirming that Malami remains committed to cooperating with investigators and expressed gratitude to his supporters amid what his camp describes as a sustained media campaign against him.
