The Department of State Services (DSS) has invited former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, for questioning over the recent attack on his convoy in Kebbi State.
The incident occurred on September 1 in Birnin Kebbi when suspected political thugs reportedly targeted Malami’s convoy shortly after he returned from a condolence visit to the family of the late Chief Imam of Dr Bello Haliru Jumu’ah Mosque.
Confirming the development in a post on his Facebook page yesterday, Malami said he honoured the invitation and offered his support to the investigation.
“I can confirm that I have been invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) to support investigation over the attack on my person and convoy in Kebbi State on the 1st of September, 2025,” he wrote.
He alleged that the petition that led to his invitation was sponsored by opposition politicians in the state but expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the DSS during the exercise.
“I was treated with dignity and respect, and I remain committed to cooperating fully with the Department to ensure that their investigation is concluded successfully,” he added.
The DSS has not issued an official statement on the matter as of press time.
