Abba Kyrai: PDP Demands Full Investigation
July 29, 2021
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) demands a forensic investigation into
reports that the United States (US) Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) has linked head of IGP Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari,
to international fraudster, Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
The revelation of the involvement of Kyari, the head of Nigeria’s
intelligence response unit, as a receiver of proceeds of international
fraud is worrisome, disturbing and a stain on the integrity of our
nation.
It is indeed disquieting that the integrity of our nation has fallen so
abysmally low under the corrupt and fraud-patronizing President
Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, to
the extent that the head of its police intelligence unit is being
charged in connection with international fraud.
Our party demands that the APC administration should not sweep this
matter under the carpet given the manifest rapport between Kyari and
some top APC leaders. We urge President Buhari not to “ease out” this
case of corruption but should immediately restore the integrity and
image of our nation by allowing for a forensic investigation on the
suspect.
Moreover, if this Abba Kyari matter is not well handled, it will be a
permanent stain on the reputation of our police, security system and our
nation at large.
The PDP therefore asks President Buhari to direct the Inspector General
of Police to take in Abba Kyari for questioning and if found culpable,
he should be handed over to the FBI.
