Attorney General disowns K1.6m deposit from Faizal Aboo: Police, National Bank of Malawi probe
Attorney General Chikosa Silungwe took to task businessperson Faizal Aboo after a mysterious K1.6 million was deposited into his bank account at National Bank of Malawi plc.

Silungwe took notice tha his bank account held at National Bank Gateway Mall Service Centre in Lilongwe was credited with K1.6 million and the deposit slip indicated the money was deposited under the name Aboo.
A bank deposit slip went viral on social media and indicated that the money was deposited by Aboo of mobile phone number 0999277000 into bank account number 1155517 on September 18 2020.
But Aboo denied depositing the money and banks’s closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) footage shows a unidentified woman made a cash deposit.
Said Silungwe: “There was a transaction to the amount of K1.6 million in cash into my account. I made inquiries with my bank, they confirmed the name, an Asian sounding name, as a person who purportedly deposited the money and had indicated their [phone] number.
“I got in touch with the person [Aboo], but he denied knowledge of the transaction the same day, Friday [September 25 2020]. I instructed my bank to withdraw the money from my account because I had the feeling that it was not deposited in good faith and the same day the bank withdrew the money and put in one of their suspense accounts.”
Silungwe said National Bank of Malawi is investigating the issues and tracking the
a “black woman who at the time of the deposit was heavily staked, hid her face with a heavy wrap”.
He also said Malawi Police Service are dealing with the matter which Limbe Police Station public relations officer Patrick Mussa confirmed.
National Bank, head of operations Brian Boby said the money has been put into a “suspence account” whilst investigations are underway.
Silungwe becomes the second top government official to have mysterious funds deposited into his bank account after former Anti-Corruption Bureau director-general Lucas Kondowe had a K2 million windfall in 2015.
Kondowe also reported to police the mysterious deposit into his First Merchant Bank (now First Capital Bank) account, saying he did not know the depositor. The funds were deposited into his account on March 27 2015 by a Mr Majid who police questioned, but it was suspected businessman Karamat Choudhry of Shayana Supermarket had deposited.
Investigators said he has been suspected after analysing call logs.

Mwenyes rule Malawi . The Mwenyes are the puppet masters!
tili ndi bank statements omwe sitinacite probe amaika vi ndalama ku ma account athu pomwe ma figure ake sitinawaonepo. tilibe vindalama votelo mwe
we had similar case with kondowe at acb. he made noise just to blindfold us and later took the money
AG amafunika munthu wokhwima maganizo ndi wa ukadaulo woyenera. Not these chamba smoking pretenders. AG should have investigated first before opening his mouth on social media. This should have been a sting operation but after whiffing timabola tiwiri we are where we are just like it happened to former ACB boss Kondowe was anyone prosecuted? Hence we conclude inangochepa ndi dollaryo.
Tangonenani kuti inachepa basi. Osamapanga phokoso. They agreed more money but the woman gave too little. Anayiziwa bwanji account yawo? Inachepa ndalama, awa azolowela ma billion aku MEC, not ma million amwenye.
Ralph Kasambara ndiamene anayambitsa zolandira ziphuphu from amwenye. You remember that he could even shoot anybody who dared to foil dubious transactions between him and corrupters? Ask Mphwiyo how he lost his lower jaw. Attorney generals are corrupt to the core. Including this current one.
Let’s not be judges here and finish with conclusions.. This is the problem with Malawians we are very quick to judge people I am sure there will be an investigation and the courts will decide and after that we can blame and ridicule the concerned party. Now I understand why our national anthem has the verse “put down each and every enemy… Hunger, disease, ENVY” AND we Malawians are envious of others be it foreign, Indian, Chinese even to our own black kind from Africa but worst of all we are envious of our own people who are from a different tribe. Shame on us! May God protect us from this evil within us. Amen
So much hate towards Malawians of Asian origin for corruption. But no blame is put on those individuals accepting the bribes. Are Asians the ones in top government positions ? Are Asians the ones making decisions for the country ? Are Asians part of technical committees in ministries? You will not find 1 Asian in Malawi’s civil sector, but they’re the ones blamed for all these problems. If people would not accept bribes then corruption will stop. Whether you are black or Indian or white, all communities are involved in this.
The AG is the perfect person to defend himself and charge this Asian, if he is guilty then arrest him.
Sidik Mia and wife come to mind
Not being funny here but the last time I was told was that they are neither Indian or black they are in between what we would called mixed race.
Koma sipakuoneka ngati ndipofunika kuti anthu adzionetsa chiphanso akamakasunga ndalama ku banki? Chiphanso chochifuna pokhapokha ukamakatenga ndalama! Ndiye ndi zimenezi lero simukudziwa yemwe wadzakupatsani ndalama. Mumaganiza bwanji kodi?
DPP yomweyo pano ayi 💪🏿🇲🇼
These Mwenyes need to be dealt with if we want Malawi to move forward. They have already forgotten that it is no longer UDF nor DPP in power. In fact, AG should press charges of attempted bribery so that the culprits must be brought to book. Mwenyes, just know that it is not Muluzi or one of the Mutharikas in power anymore. Malawians are tired of you corrupting and collapsing every government that comes into power in Malawi.
yes, yes, yes, Malawians are tried of the Mwenyes, but the question is are our corrupt leaders who receive bribes from the Mwenyes tried of them? No,No,No, they ❤️ love these Mwenyes
how did the bank accepted such deposit without careful scrutinising the identity of the depositor, ku bank si ku bin kongofika nikutayamo ndikumabwerera. anthu amakhala pa mzere. and also ban these muslim ninja dressing.
Iwe Bentby !!
Ukuoneka kuti kusukulu unali mbuli yayikulu !
Oh by the way , it approves kuti unali pa kasukulu ka pakhonde.
Which bank scrutinises a customer when he goes to deposit the money ? Kuzolowera AIRTEL money ndi mpamba basi !
By the way , what has the Muslim dressing got to do with depositing of the money in the bank ?
In addition, the Covid pandemic has necessitated the wearing of masks in banks, so it’s not just the people of Asian origin that are covering themselves in banks.
….umbuli umabereka kupusa! mxii
This is most probably the work of detractors bent on soiling the image of the honourable AG. All indications are that of a scheme to plant incriminating evidence to be used to blackmail the AG in future. If hard cash was involved, wouldn’t it have been logical to hand over the cash to the AG or his agent instead of all the hastle to take it to the bank? And why on earth did the depositor cover her face? My theory is that the SG had been approached before with the bribery proposal but did not play ball. This blatant evidence planting was meant to blackmail him, simple!
Faizal Aboo is a master criminal. He has amassed a fortune with illicit foreign currency dealings, even proving Bingu $350,000 in bribes at time Bingu got married to Calista. Faizal Aboo has to be investigated for trying to discredit the AG. And more important he has to be subjected to a full MRA investigation. Failing which Tonse if failing the people of Malawi.
Komatu nthawi yomwe a President akale analandira ndalama zankhani nkhani kuchokera ku Police Ration deal (zitalowa ku account kwawo) iwotu sanatutumuketu, anagoti yagwa m’mbale.
Titha kunena kuti amadziwapo kanthu……….nanga si sanasonyeze kudabwa!!! Awatu tikunena a Peter Mutharika otchedwa APM ndiye munthu atanena kuti amaziyembekezera ndalamazo, angalakwe kapena kuti iwowo angakane?
This story has all indicators of criminality. The owner of the account can not deny ownership of the account after being caught pants down. Firstly, the account indeed exists in his name; secondly the telephone number cited indeed belongs to an individual who is also a rich person who surprisingly answered the phone only to deny that he was not the one who deposited the cash but that a conduit was used. If this was not true, how can one benefit by depositing such a huge amount of money into somebody’s account without the account holder knowing? This is just a criminal transaction gone sour. The AG should come up with a different story that could be so convincing. This just reminds me of the other AG who was mentioned in the shooting of Mphwiyo. Anthu’wa ndi kukhala kwao; amadyera m’momo!! This is the tip of the iceberg as narrated by one Chihana, who unfortunately was gagged by the Tonse Alliance administration. But it is said “What goes around, comes around”.
I respect Silungwe. If there was something fishy, of which he knew about, he wouldn’t have reported. .but he did so coz his conscience is clear. Your writing is questionable.
Malawi is not going to be perpetually abused and remain a poor country because people like you Vasco da Gama have decided to corrupt every leadership that comes to power. If you guys are clever enough, read the signs and stop what you are doing. A lot of you are going to end up in jail if you continue with your corruption. Zaka zake ndi zimene zikubwera zi. The “dziko ndi wanu, koma ndalama ndi wathu” mantra is over. It is “dziko ndi wathu, ndalamanso ndi wathu a Malawi” with Tonse Allianc Government.
You dont know what you are talking about. Your thinjing is questionable and it only confirms you surely dont know Silungwe
For security and identification sake the banks should ban clothes that completely hide the face. They wanted to blackmail and lure the AG into more corruption as he would have become defenceless. These Malawians of Asian origin have spoiled our country.
You think YEREMIA CHIHANA is at it trying to concoct the evidence he failed to produce in parliament??
Dirty trick zayamba. Ma Rasta ndi obvuta. So watch out to corrupt amenyes.
may God forgive you
Remember Silungwe passed a comment that did not go down well with certain quarters? They probably are trying to frame him and get rid of him.
I think they know each other but the deposited money wasnt as what they agreed on so the AG wants to send a message to all that will be coming to test his monetary patience because one could wonder on how on earth would one guess his bank account number and details??
What you are saying is just the same as asking someone how did he or she know your phone number. What is important here is that the person who was sent to deposit the money must be known and squeezed. The mwenyes are good at doing that. All they wanted to know is wait until he uses the meagre K1,6million then they would start the demands. Winanso akugwiritsidwa ntchito ku immigration by fraudulently offering TEP to mwenyes
Its easy -you just ask the bank friends
educate him indeed
He is a lawyer. His account number is known by a lot of people, how else do they pay him? Through Mpamba?
wise response.
Ask mr Yeremiah Chihana what he meant by saying some of the Tonse government officials were receiving bribes from Asians….
First of all, I’m appalled by the language “black woman” in the article. Why didn’t the journalist write a Malawian woman, then we can describe her in an appropriate manner.
Secondly, I note that the foreign community in Malawi are extremely corrupt. They are using us.
Get rid of the foreign community! this is our country and we doint want corruption! we need tougher rules! Lets take our country back!
Read aftermath of uganda after idi amin
You talking about tougher rules
How many do we follow
Majority of malawians dont follow rules
70 %of cars running on the road dont have proper papers
40% dont have proper national ids
20% overload trucks more than capacity
80% ride motor bikes underage without registration
70%of driver dont know traffic rules
90%of traffic signs are missing
35%people dont report to duty on time
How can we make it tough
Aboo is also a Malawian but not Black
Aboo is a corrupting briber and criminal Mwenye. He has been looting since decades. And must be fully investigated from head to tail by MRA, ACB, Fiscal and then thrown to hardcore prisoners block A at Zomba Central so that the prisoners can chew him.
The writer is correct ” a black woman”. Not all black women are Malawians
Jane Chiyenda uli ndinzeru i could also ask the very same question. So Malawian ladies are turned into black women? Shame on you reporter or author of the same Malawian origin. How ever i wish you were the first person respecting our innocent women utilized by these greedy stupid Mwenyez. Ndiwo amatiwonongera dziko zitsilu. Abale anthu akuwapatsa ma 15000 at the expense of these stupid Indians.
You can be black and be a Tanzanian or Caribbean etc, not every black person is Malawian
Catherine Gotani Hara anawauza kale Amwenye kuti nthawi yawo yotasa yatha ndipo ndi izi.
Amwenye kuwumira konseko munthu akakopeke ndi £1,000 sheeee mwauponda 😭💪🏿🇲🇼
Well, this you may have rejected but how many such unknown deposits do you take per month? This AG is corrupt and like all lawyers he is using legal tricks to fool the public or to throw off the acb hounds.
Bring forth the evidence
That is DPP at work with their new friend Yeremia Chihana. Mind you no cabinet post given to him by Tonse govt
Okay ai izi pano ai 🇲🇼
Pumbwa tactics! Pamenepo pumbwa anayamba kudya moononga ndiye wakumana ndi lengeni ya attorney general
