Nigeria’s Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) has debunked acquiring a N300 million mansion for his, Abdulazeez who just wedded, in Abuja.

The denial was contained in a statement issued by Malami’s media aide, Umar Gwandu where he equally denied reports on social media that COVID-10 protocols were disregarded during Abdulazeez’s wedding ceremony that took place in Kano.

Malami tagged the report mischievous, deceitful, perfidious and “a clear violation of ethical journalism practices on verification of facts and authentication of claims.”

He dared his accusers to come forth with the name of the seller of the alleged mansion and its location and to make public the title documents.

“God knows that I did not purchase any house for him in Abuja. Not even a rented house was secured for my son in Abuja, because he has no plan to live in Abuja,” Malami was quoted as saying.

The statement also read, “The allegation of hiring private jets for the marriage was preposterous.

“It is common knowledge that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice had neither a father nor mother anywhere in Nigeria to be conveyed to Kano for the wedding.

“Who then is the Attorney-General using the chartered flight to convey? Which jets are chartered? Who paid for the charter? Through which means was the money paid?”

Malami said the wedding fatiha took place “under strict observance of the protocols and guidelines of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19.”

“It is important to note that the wedding fatiha took place in Kano on Saturday 11th July, 2020 in the morning.

“Any other activity before or after the wedding fatiha is not connected with the marriage and we therefore disassociate ourselves from it in its entirety.”
