Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has said he has no regrets concerning his actions during his time in office.

Malami was recently released from prison custody, where he was remanded following money laundering charges filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against him, his wife and son.

Speaking in an interview after his release, Malami expressed the belief that his predicament is God's will but vowed to defend himself.

“I have spent time in EFCC custody, Kuje Prison, and with the DSS. I believe it is all God’s will and I accept it, but I will defend myself against the allegations,” he said.

“They violated my rights by searching my houses and business premises without notifying me during the investigation.

“Constitutionally, I have the right to be present during a search to oversee the investigation of my property and to know exactly what is being looked for or taken.

“I have no regrets regarding what I did during my time as a minister.”

Further speaking, the former minister alleged that his rights were violated by security agencies, whom he accused of also searching his home.

In a statement issued after his release, Malami expressed gratitude to the well-meaning Nigerians who stood firm with him through this difficult period.

He said, "To friends and political associates within and outside Nigeria, I thank you for standing on the side of fairness, justice, and the rule of law. I remain resolute in my confidence that truth will prevail, justice will endure, and integrity will outlive every orchestrated distraction.

"However, beyond gratitude lies a greater responsibility. The struggle for justice, accountability, and national redemption is only just beginning.

"Today, our country faces one of the gravest moments in its history.

"Our nation needs courageous voices, principled leadership, and citizens who refuse to surrender their future to despair or intimidation. I therefore invite all well-meaning Nigerians to join me in this noble task of rebuilding hope, restoring justice, and defending the dignity of our great nation.

"Let it be clearly understood that the struggle is just beginning, and together we must rise with courage, conviction, and faith to reclaim the promise of Nigeria."
