The AGF spoke last night on the Channels Television programme.
He condemned the Transparency International Corruption Index placement of Nigeria.
Malami also spoke on the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari extradition matter.
On the alleged implication of DCP Kyari in Hushpuppi’s case, Malami stated: “Multiple jurisdictions are involved. So, within the context of the case, the international community is doing everything to ensure justice is done in the case.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, on Monday, said the Federal Government may consider a request to extradite the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari, to the United States of America, USA, to face trial over his alleged involvement with an internet fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, popularly known as Hussipuppi.
“For now, there is a prima facie case of suspicion established against DCP Abba Kyari on the allegation of corruption involving Hushpuppi, though there is not sufficient evidence to proceed with criminal proceedings against him.
“Nigeria is supportive to other international bodies to stamp out corruption. Generally, we are working on the matter and we are giving all necessary supports.”
He ruled out any federal government intervention in the trial of the Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) leader Kanu and Yoruba Nation agitator Igboho.
Kanu is facing treasonable felony charges in Abuja. Igboho is being detained by the Republic of Benin authorities over alleged illegal possession of travel documents and entering their country illegally.
Igboho’s detention was extended by six months yesterday.
“In the cases of Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu, there is no political solution as they are both facing trials. Igboho – in a foreign land that has its own laws and strategies of delivering justice.
“We can only bring Sunday Igboho back to Nigeria after the conclusion of his trial in the foreign nation. So, there is no possibility of a political solution now in his case. The same thing applies to Kanu Nnamdi, whose case is the court is going on naturally.”
