Abba Kyari: PSC Gives Police 2-Weeks To Conclude Investigations

The Nigeria Police have been given two weeks ultimatum by the Police Service Commission PSC to conclude investigations on the case involving the the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari.

This was made known via a statement issued on February 11, 2022 by the head, press and public relations of the commission, Ikechukwu Ani.

The Commission also directed the police to ensure that the investigation is carried out by a different panel.

The commission took the decision at the continuation of its 14th plenary meeting, which ended in Abuja, on February 11, 2022, chaired by retired Inspector-General of Police and Chairman.

Kyari, until his suspension by the commission, was the officer-in-charge of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team.

A report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America had indicted him in the case of fraud involving Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi.

The report was investigated by a special panel set up by the IGP Usman Alkali, who also forwarded it to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, for legal advice.
