A former Nigerian Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami, has confirmed that he was invited by the State Security Services (SSS) to aid in the investigation of a recent attack on his convoy in Kebbi State. The incident occurred on September 1, 2025. According to Malami, the invitation is connected to this event.
Malami alleged that the petition leading to his invitation was instigated by opposition political elements in the state. He expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the SSS, commending the security agency for its professional and transparent handling of the inquiry. Malami stated that he was treated with dignity and respect during the interaction and remains committed to cooperating fully with the Department to ensure a successful conclusion of the investigation.
The attack on Malami’s convoy has sparked concern about the safety of high-profile individuals in the region. As a former Minister of Justice, Malami’s experience and knowledge of the legal system may provide valuable insights into the investigation. The SSS, also known as the Department of State Services (DSS), is responsible for investigating threats to national security and maintaining law and order in Nigeria.
The incident has highlighted the need for increased security measures to protect public figures and maintain stability in the region. Malami’s cooperation with the DSS is expected to aid in the investigation and potentially lead to the identification of those responsible for the attack. The outcome of the investigation may have implications for the security landscape in Kebbi State and beyond.
The SSS has been working to address security concerns in the region, and this investigation is part of its efforts to maintain law and order. As the investigation unfolds, it is likely that more information will become available about the circumstances surrounding the attack and the individuals involved. For now, Malami’s confirmation of the invitation and his commitment to cooperating with the SSS mark an important step in the investigation process.
