JUST IN: Court rejects motion to block Police, AGF from arresting Abba Kyari

Embattled DCP Abba Kyari is facing more woes as a court in Abuja has rejected an ex-parte application seeking to restrain the Nigerian Police Force, NPF and Nigeria’s Attorney General of the Federation, AGF from arresting and extraditing him.

In a ruling on Thursday, Justice Ahmed Mohammed refused to grant the motion adding that it should be converted to a motion on notice and served same, along with the originating processes, on the NPF and AGF.

The ex-parte application was filed by a group, the Incorporated Trustees of the Northern Peace Foundation through their lawyer, Kayode Ajulo.

The suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/854/2021 queried the propriety of the alleged threat to arrest and extradite Kyari in relation to his indictment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States.

Kyari got into hot water after he was indicted by the FBI over his involvement in a $1.1 million fraudulent deal hatched by disgraced fraudster, Ramon Abass a.k.a Hushpuppi, against a Qatari businessman.

He was subsequently got suspended from the IRT by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali.

An investigative panel has also been setup to probe all accusations levelled against Kyari by the FBI.

  1. A group obsessed with defending criminals and criminality in the North, the reason Bokoharam and ISWAP are still perpetuating violence in #Nigeria. This group that cannot find peace in the North are now suddenly peace makers. This Northern peace foundation is a cover up, they may be behind the sponsorship of all terrorist organizations in the North. JEKI TALA

  2. Why should Abba kyari case be a headache to police ffairs? He’s needed in the US just to clear his name’s, period. Why extraditing him is taking longer, compared to those who are not fraudulent that were kidnapped to Nigeria from kenya or the innocent agitator declared wrongly wanted. Shameless leaders in power. Can’t lead wisely, disobeyed court orders , treat citizens like animals,,,your days are numbered.
