Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN)
Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, said the letter directing the reinstatement of former Chairman, Pension Reform Task Force, Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina, did not emanate from his office.
Malami stated this on Thursday when he appeared before members of House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee investigating the “disappearance, reappearance, reinstatement and promotion of Maina’’.
He said that though his office was processing correspondence from Maina to intervene in his dismissal, it did not direct his reinstatement.
“There was correspondence from Maina seeking the intervention of the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation for his reinstatement into the public service.
“Maina made available court processes, judgements and orders for the consideration of the Attorney-General of the Federation.
“Judgement and orders were generally obtained between 2013 and 2014 before I was appointed the Attorney-General and was not appealed.
‘Maina’s reinstatement letter didn’t emanate from my office’
