A lawyer, Osita Enwe, has written to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) regarding a wedding invitation addressed to an unknown recipient bearing his signature.

The AGF had allegedly used his official letterhead paper to invite people to his son’s wedding.

In the freedom of information (FoI) request sent to Malami, Mr. Enwe is seeking confirmation as to whether the wedding invitation letter truly emanated from his office.

Read the letter below:
