The anti-graft agency spoke amid rising debate over Malami’s allegation that his bail was withdrawn because he attended a political meeting in Kebbi State, where he is pursuing a governorship ambition.

The EFCC said its actions were guided strictly by law and procedure, insisting that it does not align with or act on behalf of any political interest.
According to the commission, investigations and enforcement steps are carried out independently, regardless of the political status or ambitions of those involved.
The agency maintained that it remains focused on its mandate to investigate financial crimes and enforce accountability without bias or external influence.
The response comes as political parties and public figures continue to trade reactions over Malami’s detention and the wider debate on the intersection of politics and anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria.
