Braimoh noted that Kyari might also face prosecution based on the findings of the commission which is looking into the grave claims against him.
The commission's spokesman noted that the PSC will carry out a separate investigation apart from the one ordered by the police leadership.
He stated:
"The law will determine the various punishments that we can award against him. He can be dismissed depending on the gravity of the offence; we can demote him, reduce his rank; we can suspend him.
“Many things are laid out before us pertaining to various offences and after that, the criminal aspect would be referred to the court for prosecution. It depends on how the report is coming; whether it is coming to us directly for us to extricate the criminal aspect and treat it or they want to treat it and refer the official one to us to discipline him.’’
