The immediate-past Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke , has written his successor, Abubakar Malami , demanding a retraction of alleged defamatory portions of Ma
lami’s witness statements filed in an English court as part of the Federal Government’s moves to overturn the $9.6bn P&ID judgment delivered against Nigeria.
Erokoro said at the July 13, 2020 proceedings of the English court, the Federal Government’s lawyer “repeatedly described our client as ‘corrupt’ and cited your written evidence as his source.” But Erokoro, in his letter to Malami, said, “It is on record that our client was not involved in any of the negotiations with P&ID for settlement, which all took place under your watch. The initial proposal for settlement was delivered to President Jonathan.
Erokoro said he had Adoke’s instructions to demand that Malami “instruct your counsel in England to cease and desist from repeating the allegations of corruption and other defamatory imputations broadcast about our client.”
