Hushpuppi: more damning evidence against Abba Kyari surfaced

At least four top Officers from The federal bureau of investigations (FBI) arrived Nigerian on Friday to facilitate the arrest and possible extradition of Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari to the United States.

Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), is wanted in the US for allegedly benefitting from N1.1m loot involving celebrity internet fraudster Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, alias Hushpuppi.

But Kyari denied demanding or receiving a bribe from Hushpuppi.

According to online sources, the FBI landed in Nigeria on Friday with more incriminating evidence to establish a case of fraud against the Nigerian most decorated police officer Abba Kyari.

The new FBI evidence shows that Ramon Abbas a.k.a Hushpuppi, a.k.a Gucci master used DCP Abba Kyari to carry out his revenge mission, using police to arrest people.

According to the reports, Hushpuppi’s errand boy Abba Kyari destroyed so many lives, jailing up to 20 Nigerians in Dubai with his Dubai police connections and lies on these young men.

FBI on the other hand is expected to follow the laid down procedures guiding nigeria/us extradition treaty before they would be allowed to take the DCP along with them to the United States.

However, an Abuja based legal practitioner, Dr. Kayode Ajulo has shared his thoughts on nigeria/us extradition treaty;

“it is unequivocal that nigeria is a sovereign state and a citizen of nigeria cannot be expelled/extradited from the country without strict adherence to the provisions of the constitution and international protocol.

“what is more, the federal republic of nigeria and the united states of america are bound by the provisions of the extradition treaty signed with the united states of america on december 22, 1931 (entered into force on june 24, 1935) including the extradition act of 1966, (extradition modification) order, 2014, extradition act (proceedings) rules, 2015 and other international protocol.

“for a starter, by the provision of section 6 of the extradition act, a request for the surrender of a fugitive criminal of any country shall be made in writing to the attorney-general by a diplomatic representative or consular officer of that country and shall be accompanied by a duly authenticated warrant of arrest or certificate of conviction issued in that country.

“Thereafter, the office of the Attorney General of the Federation would have to conduct a discreet and thorough investigation into the said allegations and upon the conclusion of same, if there is any prima facie case against DCP Abba Kyari, commence extradition processes against him in a Court of competent jurisdiction within the Nigerian Territory and obtain an Order of Court in line before he can be extradited to the United States of America.”
