Former Nigerian Attorney‑General Abubakar Malami confirmed that the State Security Services (SSS) invited him to assist in investigating the attack on his convoy in Kebbi State on 1 September 2025. He said the invitation is directly linked to that incident and alleged that the petition prompting his involvement was driven by opposition political elements in the state.
Malami praised the SSS for its professional and transparent handling of the inquiry, noting that he was treated with dignity and respect. He affirmed his commitment to cooperate fully with the department to ensure a successful conclusion of the investigation.
The assault on Malami’s convoy has raised concerns about the safety of high‑profile individuals in the region. As a former Minister of Justice, his legal expertise could provide valuable insights into the case. The SSS, also known as the Department of State Services (DSS), is tasked with investigating threats to national security and maintaining law and order in Nigeria. This incident underscores the need for stronger security measures to protect public figures and preserve stability in Kebbi State and beyond.
Malami’s cooperation with the DSS is expected to aid the investigation and potentially identify those responsible for the attack. The outcome may have broader implications for the security landscape in the region. As the inquiry progresses, further details about the circumstances and the individuals involved are likely to emerge. For now, Malami’s confirmation of the invitation and his pledge to work with the SSS represent an important step in the investigative process.
