Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has denied exonerating a suspended police officer, Abba Kyari.
The AGF made the clarification on Sunday in a statement by his spokesman Umar Gwandu.
The minister said there appears to be a “misunderstanding” regarding the issue.
He said, “It was a case of work in progress in respect of which the office of the Attorney General of the Federation requested for further probe in relation to some aspects of investigation.
“It was clear that the conclusion on the alleged contradiction on the issue was a clear case of misconception.
“The office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice’s stance is that no conclusion has been reached in the direction of absence of evidence relating to the first report.
“The issues were raised for further investigation with a view to cover the field in investigation in order to arrive at an informed decision.”
