The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has refuted claims from some quarters that he authored a derogatory post on Igbos and Hausas.

Crystal News learnt that the alleged post by Malami contained words that exalted an ethnic group while describing other groups with uncouth remarks.

The post reads: “Igbos are stupid and unruly. They are the problem in this country. The Hausa recognizes their position as conquered slaves. They recognize the supremacy of the Fulani. The Hausas are happy being our slaves and we treat them well. The Hausa will not seek to sit on the same table with their masters. They will not demand to be in government. They know it is Haram. The kobokobo Igbos will not take their place as the conquered slaves they are. They refuse Fulani grazing on their land.”

The post said members of an ethnic group are special breeds that must be served “which is why Nnamdi Kanu must die”.

“He challenged a power greater than his tribe. He challenged an authority established by Allah. We poisoned his parents to send a warning across to him but he refused to listen. He has received his own dose. He will rot from inside and die very painfully. He cannot reason well again. The Judge will keep adjourning his case for him to have a good taste of a painful death. This is a lesson to you Igbo people,”

Reacting to the derogatory post, Umar Gwandu, a Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations said that Malama did not write or contemplate such a post.

His words, “The Attorney -General of the Federation and Minister of Justice did not write and has never contemplated writing or posting such derogatory remarks or cast aspersions on any tribe or section of the multi-cultural and diverse communities in the country.

“Malami is known to be a patriotic Nigerian and non-tribal partisan who believes in equality, fairness, and justice to all regardless of any inclination to tribe location or gender,” he said.

According to Gwandu, the grammatical flaws, apparent illogicalities, and divisionary tendencies as well as lack of respect to diversity in humanity make it palpably incongruous to believe that the post was from Malami.

“The office of the Attorney -General of the Federation and Minister of Justice calls on the general public to disregard the post.

”It is created and circulated by mischief makers and purveyors of hatred who are bent on destroying the hard-earned reputation of the minister,” Gwandu said.

He added that it was instructive to note that fact-check conducted by some media organizations proved that attributing the derogatory post to Malami was not only defamatory but also fictitious.
