DSS Questions Former AGF Abubakar Malami Over Attack on Convoy in Kebbi

DSS has questioned Former AGF Abubakar Malami over attack on his convoy in Kebbi State.

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Department of State Services (DSS) has interrogated former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, following the violent attack on his convoy in Kebbi State.

The incident occurred on September 1, 2025, in Birnin Kebbi, shortly after Malami returned from a condolence visit to the family of the late Chief Imam of Dr Bello Haliru Jumu’ah Mosque. His convoy was reportedly ambushed by suspected political thugs.

Confirming the development in a Facebook post on Monday, Malami said he honoured the DSS invitation and participated in the 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,” Malami stated.

He alleged that the petition which triggered the DSS probe was politically motivated and instigated by rival figures in the state.

Despite this, the former AGF praised the DSS for what he described as a professional and transparent inquiry.

“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,” Malami added.
