Hushpuppi: See Full Details As Police Service Commission receives IGP’s panel report on Abba Kyari

Usman Baba, the Inspector-General of Police, has submitted the probe panel report on the suspended Head of the Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari, to the Police Service Commission, a commissioner on the PSC, Austin Braimoh, confirmed this development stressing that the commission would deliberate on the issue this week.

This is coming almost six months after the SIP led by DIG Joseph Egbunike submitted its report to the IG.

Braimoh said the PSC Standing Committee on Discipline was still going through the report, adding that the report would be presented to the PSC plenary later on.

“The standing committee is still going through the report after which they would present it to the plenary for action,” he said on the phone.

Our correspondent had reported that Kyari was queried and his response was delivered to the Force Disciplinary Committee.

Kyari was investigated over his alleged role in a $1.1m internet scam by an Instagram influencer, Abbas Ramon, aka Hushpuppi, and four others.

The probe followed his indictment by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations which recommended that he be extradited to the US for trial.

A Special Agent with the FBI, Andrew Innocenti, had alleged that Hushpuppi contracted Kyari after a “co-conspirator,” Chibuzo Vincent, allegedly threatened to expose the alleged $1.1m fraud committed against a Qatari businessman.
