The Department of State Services, DSS, has invited and interrogated former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, in connection with the attack on his convoy in Kebbi State.

UGAMATV recalls that Malami’s convoy was attacked by suspected political thugs in Birnin Kebbi on September 1, 2025, shortly after he returned from a condolence visit to the family of the late Chief Imam of Dr Bello Haliru Jumu’ah Mosque.

In a post on his Facebook page on Monday, Malami confirmed that he had honoured the invitation to support the DSS 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.

Malami alleged that the petition which prompted the DSS invitation was instigated by opposition political figures in the state.

However, he commended the DSS for the professional and transparent manner in which the inquiry was conducted. “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.
