Following, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali allegedly discarded a report by a panel setup to investigate the issue of Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Following report gatered, the IGP rejected an earlier report submitted by the Panel led by Joseph Egbunike, Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigations Department.
Sources earlier reported that Kyari got into trouble after the US court issued a warrant for his arrest over his alleged involvement in a $1.1m Internet fraud allegedly perpetrated by international frauder, Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi and four others; AbdulRahman Juma, Vincent Kelly Chibuzo (Kelly), Rukayat Motunrayo Fashola, and Bolatito Agbabiaka.
The FBI claimed that Kyari detained Chibuzor at the behest of Hushpuppi for one month to enable the latter and his co-conspirators to fleece their Qatari victim of over $1m.
However, Kyari has appeared the panel several times since it was setup and has fiercely defended himself against the allegations. The Panel submitted a report to the IG last week but was rejected for being to ‘lenient’ on the Super Cop.
The panel resubmitted another report on Monday after the IGP expressed discomfort with panel’s earlier findings and recommendations.
