Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has urged Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to follow and process the extradition request on Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari to the United States of America.
Falana stated this while reacting to the indictment levelled against the suspended Head of Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Kyari by the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The United States Department of Justice had said ongoing investigations showed that Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi allegedly bribed Kyari to arrest one Kelly Chibuzo Vincent, one of his accomplices in Nigeria.
According to a court document released by the United States Department of Justice on Wednesday, titled: ‘Six Indicted in International Scheme to Defraud Qatari School Founder and then Launder over $1 Million in Illicit Proceeds’, Kyari was said to have been bribed to arrest one Kelly Chibuzor Vincent, 40, in Nigeria, who created bogus documents and arranged for the creation of a fake bank website and phone banking line to support the defrauding of a business person trying to provide $1.1m for the funding of a school in Qatar.
Speaking during a telephone interview with AIT on Tuesday, August 3, Falana stated that Kyari is the product of a failed system.
