Threaten Nigeria's Unity, Be Treated as Criminal - Attorney General

 

 

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has said that anyone posing a threat to Nigeria’s unity will be treated as a criminal.

 

Malami, who spoke while flagging off a three-day summit of attorneys-general from across the 36 states of the federation in Yola, Adamawa State capital, on Friday, said nobody would be allowed to compromise the peace and security of Nigeria.

 

He said they were empowered by relevant sections of the constitution to institute criminal proceedings against any individual who acts against the law.

 

Malami said, “As the chief law officer of the nation and custodian of her legal conscience, we have a responsibility to ensure that the unity, peace and security of the country are not compromised by selfish interest over and above national interest.”
