Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, who heads the Intelligence\nResponse Team of the Nigerian police, is in a major crisis of his career. He is\naccused of conducting financial transactions involving proceeds of illegal\nactivities and has been indicted of fraud in a United States court. The Federal\nBureau of Investigation (FBI) has put in an extradition request to the Nigerian\nGovernment requesting that he attends court in the U.S. to answer to the\ncharges against him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The allegations arise from ongoing trial of Instagram Influencer, Ramon\nAbbas better known as Hushpuppi, who has pleaded guilty to money laundering,\nfrauds and other scams. The super cop is alleged to have sent his bank account\ndetails to Abbas for payment for the jailing of Abbas\u2019 partner, Kelly Chibuzor Vincent,\nwho was unhappy with his share of the proceeds from defrauding a businessman in\nQatar between 2019 and 2020 and reached out to the victim to report Abbas as\nfake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kyari claimed that Hushpuppi saw some native clothes and caps on his social media posts of which Abba Kyari claims that the payment received was made directly to the seller even though the items were brought to his office and picked up by courier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abba Kyari was until his indictment, head of the Intelligence Response Team who had been tracking Nigeria\u2019s most notorious kidnap kingpin billionaire, Chukwudumeme Onwaumadike AKA Evans, which eventually led to his arrest in 2017. He has also been part of the team that arrested the killers of the former Chief of Defense Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, the most wanted Boko Haram Commander, Umar Abdulmalik and eight of his terrorist\u2019s gang members, the deadly Offa Bank robbers in Kwara State, etc.\u00a0 He is also a recipient of Nigeria\u2019s House of Representatives\u2019 Honor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No doubt, Kyari is a well decorated Nigerian police officer who has\nreceived a number of praises for his achievements. Human rights groups,\nhowever, raise concerns about his human rights record as a police officer. Most\nrecently, he has been involved in security operations in the South-East of the\ncountry particularly Imo State where reports of extrajudicial killing of\ncitizens by security officers in various communities have been alarming. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
