According to Mr Gwandu, the Minister was responding to a media report on the claim that Mr Femi Falana sent a letter to the AGF requesting for the release of Mister Sowore.
“When parties submit their issues for determination to a court of law, they lack exclusivity of decision over such issues without recourse to the court,” he said.
Malami said “we remain guided by the established tradition and will not take the unilateral decision without recourse to the rule of law,” he reaffirmed.
