Hushpuppi: Anxiety as IGP Usman Baba speaks on extradition of DCP Abba Kyari
In a previous report by Legit.ng, the inspector-general of police said the Nigeria Police Force is yet to receive a formal request for the extradition of Kyari.
Speaking at a media briefing on Thursday, October 28, 2021, Baba said the police has, however, received feedback on the legal advice requested from Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).
The IGP had in August received the report of the panel set up to probe the bribery allegations against Kyari over his alleged relationship with Hushpuppi, the Instagram celebrity and self-confessed international fraudster.
Police commission orders fresh probe into Kyari's link to Hushpuppi after IGP team’s shallow investigations
Meanwhile, the Police Service Commission (PSC) has directed Baba to conduct fresh investigations into the link between Kyari, and an internet fraudster, Abbas Ramon, commonly known as Hushpuppi.
The directive to the IG was a sequel to the advice from the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
The report indicates that on Wednesday, January 26, the AGF said the facts contained in the police investigation report were not strong enough to convict the DCP.
