A former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has called on the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to resign over what he called his embarrassing and selective targeting of judicial officers from the South.

He condemned in strong terms the illegal invasion of the house of the second most senior Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Mary Odili, by security operatives allegedly at the behest of the Malami-led Ministry of Justice.

He said despite Malami’s rash denial of his involvement in the shameful saga, “he (Malami) cannot entirely distance himself from the sting operation in view of previous state sponsored impunity against selected Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Federal High Court, under his watch.”

Frank, who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), Ambassador to East Africa and Middle East, in a statement in Abuja, also called on the President Muhammdu Buhari to immediately relieve Malami of his job should he fail to heed the call to vacate the office of AGF.

He said the need to replace Malami has become imperative to stop incessant harassment, intimidation and molestation of judicial officers as well as the denigration and desecration of the judiciary by Malami and security agencies acting on his orders.

He alleged that Malami has continued to clandestinely promote acts of terror and impunity against Judicial Officers in the country in an attempt to cow them and render the judiciary subservient to the executive arm of government.

He recalled the attack against Justices and Judges in 2016, when operatives of the Department of State Services forcefully invaded and raided the residences of some Justices and judges under the cover of night.
