Malami denies blocking NIRSAL probe
the stoppage of the investigation of alleged fraud in the Nigeria Incentive-based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending .
The statement reads: “The attention of the Office of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has been drawn to a story on Nigeria Incentive-based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending in an online medium on baseless falsehood mischievously spread in order to tarnish the image and hard-earned reputation the Attorney-General has built over the years, making reference to a letter insinuating that he had directed the stoppage of investigation on NIRSAL.
‘In view of the foregoing, you are requested to conclude your own investigation on the matter and forward the outcome of your investigation on the matter to the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation for legal advice and further necessary action.’ “The clear and unambiguous directive of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation was that the other several agencies conducting parallel investigation on NIRSAL in respect of the same subject matter should stay action to allow the Nigeria Police Force to continue and conclude the investigations it had started.The directive was inspired by the desire to avoid multiplicity, confusion and wastage of scarce resources.
