Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke , has given Abubakar Malami , the incumbent AGF, seven days to retract defamatory statements made against him at the ongoing hearing of the Process and Industrial Development arbitration in United Kingdom.
The letter reads, “Our client finds it remarkable that you found no fault in the appointment of the arbitrator but found fault with the appointment of counsel, even though the two appointments followed the same process. For this reason, our client is forced to conclude that your vilification of his name is merely a case of giving the dog a bad name in order to hang it.
“You also conceal these facts from the court even though the records have been in your office all along. If our client had been part of any corrupt scheme with P&ID as you claimed in your evidence, surely our client would have jumped at the chance to give P&ID a favourable settlement. “The President referred the matter to our client for his advice. Our client advised the President to leave the matter to the in-coming administration, since the President’s tenure was ending in eight days. You also concealed these facts from the court even though the records have been in your office all along.
“Our client is astounded by your failure to inform the English court that under Nigerian law, any person charged with or accused of a crime must be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
