All eyes appear to be on the Nigeria Police currently as a United States court has ordered the arrest of one of its super cops – Abba Kyari.
Nigeria has, in recent times, enjoyed the cooperation of international policing, leading to the arrest of some of its targets.
Among such are leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nmamdi Kanu; and Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho.
Kyari has been indicted in the case of alleged fraudster, Huspuppi, who said he gave him some bribe to arrest his estranged ally called Vincent.
Kyari has responded, saying he did not collect any bribe from Huspuppi.
According to him, a N300,000 he knows about was the money Huspuppi sent to a tailor he introduced him to.
But according to a court document obtained by Peoples Gazette, Otis Wright of the United States District Court for the Central District of California ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FIB) to track down Kyari and produce him in the United States for his role in a multi-million dollar fraud perpetrated by Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi and his co-conspirators.
The court said Hushpuppi allegedly conspired with five others to defraud the businessperson by claiming to be consultants and bankers who could facilitate a loan to finance the construction of a school in Qatar.
The five include Abdulrahman Juma from Kenya, 28; Chibuzo Vincent from Nigeria, 40; Yusuf Anifowoshe, 26; Rukayat Fashola 28 and Bolatito Agbabiaka, 34.
However, Hushpuppi allegedly hunted Vincent after a dispute broke out among the team after the latter threatened to expose the fraud to the Qatari businessman.
“According to the affidavit, Kyari is a highly decorated deputy commissioner of the Nigeria Police Force who is alleged to have arranged for Vincent to be arrested and jailed at Abbas’ behest, and then sent Abbas photographs of Vincent after his arrest. Kyari also allegedly sent Abbas bank account details for an account into which Abbas could deposit payment for Vincent’s arrest and imprisonment,” the statement partly reads.
