Nigerians want Abba Kyari to be immediately extradited to the US for admitting to aiding Ramon Abbass, popularly known as Hushpuppi, in dealing with his opponent in the crime syndicate.
Kyari has been indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for aiding Hushpuppi in his criminal activities. The Deputy Commissioner of Police, whom many believed is being groomed to become Inspector General of Police, was accused of acting as a fixer for Hushpuppi, by arresting his enemies and other sundry allegations.
He was specifically accused of intimidating one Kelly Chibuzor Vincent, an ally of Hushpuppi, who wanted to corner, $1.1 million, a proceed of fraud, without giving Hushpuppi his cut.
But Abba Kyari denied the allegation. He claimed that his relationship with Hushpuppi started when the self-confessed fraudster gave him false information that the lives of his family were being threatened by Vincent.
He claimed that he investigated and found the allegation to be untrue.
Curiously, after admitting that Hushpuppi provided him with false information, which is a crime in Nigeria, the two of them continued having a friendly relationship, to the point that he helped Hushpuppi purchased clothes and caps.
For many Nigerians, Abba Kyari has indicted himself by the statement, which he hurriedly posted after his involvement with Hushpuppi became the top trend on social media.
@DrOlufunmilayo said: “So let me get it: Hushpuppi who is an Instagram celeb, and internet fraudster, needs to buy native caps;
And the person he will ask is a police officer- not just any police officer but a DCP- not any DCP but Abba Kyari.
Some of you think this makes sense. Do you have any brain at all?”
He added: “The US Govt has an extradition agreement with 100 countries. Now read that again: 100 countries.
That means even if Abba Kyari never steps foot into the USA because he will be arrested immediately, he cannot also step foot into 100 other countries. At this rate, the man is ruined.
“@AfamDeluxo said: “Abba Kyari won’t escape FBI. When he is done typing his epistle on Facebook, he should go to the United States and clear his name. Lots of innocent people died under the guise of looking for unknown gunmen in Imo State. Blood of the innocents fighting back.”
@General_Somto said: “The So-called Super Cop, Abba Kyari Is Nothing But A Bloodthirsty Corrupt Super Killer in Uniform. In Any Sane Country, Abba Kyari Will Be In Jail By Now. It’s Only In Nigeria, That Someone Like Him Walks Around Freely. The Man Is A Bloody Murderer And A Glorified Criminal @FBI.”
@SavvyRinu said: “It may interest you to know that Abba Kyari was also the Officer-In-Charge of (SARS) in Lagos before he was promoted to IGP-IRT unit. He has many medals of extrajudicial killings/extortion, torture, etc. going unchecked. This man is one of the top reasons why #ENDSARS started.”
She added: “Whatever HushPuppi said Abba Kyari did, he did that and more. You can’t imagine the number of lives wasted & ruined as a result of Abba Kyari’s nefarious activities in the Nigerian Police Force.”
@AbdulMahmud01: “Supercop allegedly aids and abets crime. Abba Kyari was named in the trial of Hushpuppi. How many Nigerians are innocent victims of this super crook? I’ve always said it here: we have more Iyamus in the Nigerian Police than we can ever imagine.”
@Truthfully83 said: “Conspiracy to commit fraud in the United States carries a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Sorry, Supercop Abba Kyari, you are about to embark on a long journey. Thank God it wasn’t @DavidHundeyin that exposed you. AREWA & Presidency take note.”
