When a celebrated police officer suddenly became a shadow of himself, it will take some serious courage for the president and others who should release him for the FBI to do the right thing.
The United States prosecutors handling the case of Abba Kyari and co-conspirators in the multimillion-dollar fraud masterminded by Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas have accused the disgraced police office of being at large.
Officials said they would proceed with the trial of three other co-conspirators in the international wire fraud and money laundering case that will commence in October and may last until May 2022.
Kyari has been hiding behind Nigeria’s corrupt system to obstruct his extradition to the U.S. to face trial after his indictment in July.
The police have set up three different panels to examine and reexamine the case filed by the FBI agains Kyari.
Last week, police minister Maigari Dingyadi said only President Muhammadu Buhari has the power to determine the disgraced deputy police commissioner’s case.
The minister’s statement has however been dismissed by legal experts, who said it was more of an attempt to help Mr Kyari escape justice because his extradition process could easily be handled by the attorney general’s office.
