Mohammed Adoke Laments

Mohammed Adoke (SAN), former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice who is linked to the $1.3billion Malabu scam and was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is now lamenting.

“I have become aware of plans being made by the EFCC acting in concert with the Presidency to illegally abduct me and forcibly drag me to Nigeria for purposes of detaining and humiliating me for having the audacity to challenge in court, my continuous persecution, intimidation and harassment by the EFCC.”

“I was made to understand this move did not go down well with certain persons in the Presidency and the EFCC, hence the renewed harassment and intimidation that followed in form of searches of my residences in Kano and Okene and that of my brother.”

“While these searches for ‘hidden dollars’ have not yielded any fruit because I do not have any money stacked up anywhere, a new angle has emerged as a plan has been hatched to abduct me from any jurisdiction where I may be with the help of security agents of some collaborating countries known for extraordinary renditions for the sole purpose of meting out the ‘Dasuki treatment’ to me.”

“The strategy of the government is to paint me as a corrupt person with illegally obtained wealth so that I would lose sympathy from Nigerians and indeed the international community thereby making it possible for them to tolerate my illegal detention. I committed no crime but merely brokered a deal between the Federal Government and Malabu Oil and Gas Limited. The deal was inherited from the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.”
