THE Special Investigation Panel has submitted its report to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, two weeks after it was mandated to probe the former Head, Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police.

The four-man panel headed by the Deputy Inspector -General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigations Department, Joseph Egbunike, submitted its findings to the IG on Monday.

Kyari is under investigation for his alleged involvement in a $1.1m Internet fraud allegedly perpetrated by an Instagram influencer, Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi and four others; AbdulRahman Juma (Abdul); Vincent Kelly Chibuzo (Kelly); Rukayat Motunrayo Fashola (Morayo); and Bolatito Agbabiaka (Bolamide).

The FBI had claimed that Kyari detained Chibuzor at the behest of Hushpuppi for one month to enable the latter and his co-conspirators to fleece their Qatari victim of over $1m.

Following the development, the IG on August 1 recommended the suspension of the DCP to the Police Service Commission, with effect from July 31, and also set up the SIP to investigate the allegations against him.

Kyari was replaced at the IRT by Tunji Disu, also a DCP

During its sittings, Kyari appeared several times before the panel where he dismissed the allegations of conniving with Hushpuppi to defraud the Qatari businessman.

Our correspondent gathered that the SIP sessions with Kyari were relaxed and cordial, a situation that gave the DCP the confidence that he would be absolved of the allegations.

Sources said Egbunike and Kyari had a long term relationship since the former was an Assistant Commissioner of Police in the police Accounts Department where he served for over 15 years.

It was learnt that the panel submitted the report last week but it was rejected by the IG for being too lenient on Kyari.

A source stated, “The panel concluded its investigation and submitted its report to the IG last Thursday or Friday but the IG rejected it. He was not comfortable with the panel findings and recommendations.

Kastonkastroll:
If he is found guilty he should just resign but if he is clean then he should be promoted. Abba kyari did a lot of good to the police force and Nigerians at large. I sincerely don't want this little misdeeds to end his wonderful policing career.

Monogamy:
In short, so all the media noise from especially razor gazette and Sahara reporters na the writers personal opinion not that the FBI are indeed looking or coming for Kyari...

Eish

Kyari won't get more than suspension as he is very useful in the force, the 4 man panel self could have also received bribe about their findings..

Nigeria police and corruption are inseparable

Tinubuadvocate:
This IG is just making a fun of himself. What are you probing even despite the evidence everywhere?so you can't arrest kyari and torture him till he confess just like you guys are doing to avenge nigerian.

Monogamy:


Exactly, Kyari had done more good than this ordinary Hush's case to bring him down. You dont throw the baby with the water..

Nigeria media only paparized the indictment regarding FBI bla bla bla

AchalugoNwa:
[s][/s]
trash trash trash

will that stop him from being wanted by the feds?
will that make him free from the allegations on the fed side?

the fact is that he's a wanted man and can't step foot in the states or any ally country.
it doesn't matter whether corrupt FG shield him or not.
every sane person already knew that FG will shield but the most important thing is that he's a wanted criminal in the US

and most importantly his so called integrity to the muds
so it's a win win for us the children of God

Shut up and stop crying on my mentions. What do you know about events? Again, your support, analysis , opinion about Kyari's case go in the traditional way.

Do you have any major events you have supported which became reality? If there are name just 1.

Go and engage with people with flops analysis like yours.

For here, we have been keeping the analysis real like Olaitan

You have the highest record of supporting doom/ bound to fail things, 85% so far.

Make you give me football predictions, you dey do yanga, no be to bet on the opposite of what you predicted.

Hian

kingphilip:
most of those in custody serving jail term are also first time offenders and have done several good deeds before now.

Should they all be released too?

How about past governors, presidents and ministers being branded corrupt individuals, I'm sure they did something worthwhile too in their elective or appointed offices as the case maybe, should they all too be left alone?

Think deeply next time before proposing this idealogy of yours.
