The Federal Ministry of Justice, under the tenure of former Attorney-General and Minister Abubakar Malami, is currently facing an inquiry by the Senate Public Accounts Committee regarding ₦2.2 billion in unaccounted funds. These funds were collected between 2017 and 2021 from the Service Wide Vote (SWV). An audit of the Ministry's finances exposed serious discrepancies in the records. For instance, in 2017, the Service Wide Vote released ₦955 million, but the Ministry’s records claimed only ₦549 million was received, leaving a total of ₦406 million unaccounted for in that year alone.
