PHOTOS: Thugs attack former AGF Abubakar Malami’s convoy in Kebbi
Former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, escaped injury yesterday, September 1, after his convoy was attacked by suspected political thugs in Birnin Kebbi.
Malami was returning after paying a condolence visit to a family in the state capital when the assailants attacked his convoy, destroying 10 vehicles in the convoy and leaving several of his supporters injured during the attack.
Malami who is a leader in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi, described the attack as “politically motivated”.
He said;
““I was in Birnin Kebbi solely to pay condolences to families who lost their loved ones. I was away, not for political campaign. It’s painful and unfortunate. Some thugs emerged from the APC state headquarters, armed with weapons and stones, and attacked our convoy, destroying vehicles and injuring our supporters.”
Malami further claimed said there would be “no retreat, no surrender” in politics in Kebbi.
Meanwhile, the APC party in the state has denied any involvement in the attack.

Old tweets shared by man emerges after he killed his ex-girlfriend one year after they broke up
Old tweets shared by Lintex Ogale, the man who murdered his ex-girlfriend in Lagos, are receiving attention after news of his actions spread.
Lintex Ogale, from Benue State, is accused of killing Deborah Moses, an interior decorator, at her home in Lagos after refusing to move on one year after their break up.
He reportedly disguised as a dispatch rider to gain access into Deborah’s estate. He is also alleged to have cut her gas pipe, hoping that she would experience a gas explosion, according to allegations.
When that failed, he is alleged to have gone into Deborah’s house where he stabbed her to death.
According to Deborah’s sister, Ogale refused to more on more than a year after Deborah ended the relationship due to violence on his part.
Before he stabbed her, Ogale allegedly said “if I can’t have you, no man would”.
After the report of the Ogale’s arrest went viral, Nigerians began sharing old tweets he made months ago.
In one, he wrote: “na who know person go kill am normal”.
Another tweet shows him reacting to the interview gospel singer Timileyin Ajayi granted in January 2025 after he was caught with the severed head of a female corps member, Salome Adaidu.
At the time, Timileyin, who has now been sentenced to de@th, claimed that Salome was his girlfriend and she cheated on him which is why he k!lled her.
Reacting, Ogale wrote at the time: “The guy na just mumu. If everybody start kpai women base on cheating,I’m not sure 10% of them will be left.”
