Popular musician, Eedris Abdulkareem has lampooned the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Abba Kyari over his arrest for alleged involvement in a drug deal with an international cartel.
Eedris Abdulkareem took to his Instagram page and wrote;
He wrote; “Supercop in the morning, criminal moonlighting at night. A life of layered pretence and lies.”
“When will the pictures of Abba Kyari in handcuffs surface the internet. Until I see that picture I won’t believe any news of his arrest.”
Recall that Abba Kyari was arrested on Monday, February 14th, 2022 after the National Drug Law Enforcement (NDLEA) declared him wanted and released a video of him trying to bribe an NDLEA agent to back up its allegation.
However, the Nigerian police arrested Kyari following the evidence and he was handed over to the NDLEA for further investigation.
The United States Department of Justice has maintained that only President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime can provide reasons disgraced and suspended DCP Abba Kyari has not been extradited to the U.S.
“As a matter of policy, the department generally does not comment on extradition-related matters. We defer any questions about the status of a defendant’s extradition to the foreign country,” Nicole Oxman, a spokeswoman for the DOJ, said in an email to Peoples Gazette.
The comment came in response to enquiries from The Gazette after the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) declared Mr Kyari wanted for drug trafficking.
Justice minister Abubakar Malami had disclosed on Channels TV that Mr Kyari, fingered in the Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas’ multimillion-dollar internet fraud scheme, may be extradited to the U.S. to face charges. However, Mr Malami did not provide a time frame for the process to be completed.
Mr Malami explained that Mr Buhari’s regime was collaborating with the U.S. government on Mr Kyari’s involvement with Hushpuppi. According to him, both countries had been “discussing and collaborating and there are exchange of correspondence from the perspective of investigation, from the perspective of extradition and associated things.”
Since the FBI uncovered Mr Kyari’s involvement in the multimillion-dollar internet scam by Hushpuppi and his syndicate, three separate panels had been set up by the police to examine and reexamine the case filed by the FBI against him.
