The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami SAN, says his office is not investigating National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He made the revelation while responding to a question during an appearance on a Channels Television programme.
However, Malami said he could not say if the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) were conducting any investigation on the former Lagos governor.
“The Office of the AGF, as you rightly know, has not taken any decision, has not filed or institute any action before any court in the land relating to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But then, within the context of the law as you rightly know, the EFCC and the Code of Conduct are all statutory bodies vested with statutory powers to act within the context of the law establishing them. So, I am not in a position to give you a precise answer.

“The Office of the AGF and its arm, which is the Director of Public Prosecutions, has not initiated any proceedings and no investigation has been instituted at its instance by any agency of government be it EFCC or the Code of Conduct Bureau,” Malami said.
In November 2020, EFCC had written to the CCB to demand a copy of Tinubu’s asset declaration form.
Not much has been heard about the matter since then.
