The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Monday, stated the United States Government and its Nigerian equivalent are discussing the possibility of extraditing suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari, over his links to international scammer, Ramon Abbas, also known as Hushpuppi.

Malami said both government’s are talking about Kyari’s extradition, because sensible premises for suspicion has actually been established against the former Head of the Intelligence Response Team, IRT.

He divulged this while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, had actually connected Kyari to a $1m fraud supposedly perpetrated by Hushpuppi and his gangs.

The previous IRT boss, however, rejected involvement in the break-in performed by Hushpuppi.

Regardless of his rejection, the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, had actually suspended Kyari, pending an investigation by the Police Service Commission, PSC.

Upon conclusion of its investigation, PSC had suggested Kyari’s termination from the force.

Nevertheless, Malami said there has been exchange of correspondence in between both governments on Kyari’s problem.

According to Malami: “As far as I am concerned, the celebrations are discussing, the parties are working together, there are exchanges of correspondence from the point of view of examination, from the point of view of extradition, and associated things.

“Reasonable premises for suspicion have actually been developed and that will ultimately translate to the possibility of prosecution and conviction if undoubtedly one is adjudged guilty by the law.”
