Ex-AGF Abubakar Malami’s Convoy Attacked in Kebbi, 10 Vehicles Destroyed

 

Former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, narrowly escaped injury on Sunday, September 1, after his convoy was attacked by suspected political thugs in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.

Malami, who had just concluded a condolence visit to a bereaved family in the state capital, came under attack when hoodlums reportedly ambushed his convoy. At least 10 vehicles were vandalized in the incident, leaving several of his supporters injured.

Speaking after the attack, Malami, a prominent leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi, described the assault as politically motivated.

“I was in Birnin Kebbi solely to pay condolences to families who lost their loved ones. I was not there for any political campaign. It’s painful and unfortunate. Some thugs emerged from the APC state headquarters, armed with weapons and stones, and attacked our convoy, destroying vehicles and injuring our supporters,” Malami said.

He vowed not to be deterred, insisting there would be “no retreat, no surrender” in Kebbi politics.

Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State has distanced itself from the incident, denying any involvement in the attack.
