nihilistjnr: The defendant doesn't get to find out what evidence the prosecutors are planning to use against him until discovery, which happens after arrest but before court trial.
The US courts have determined that there is enough evidence to issue a federal arrest warrant. Let Kyari go to yankee first, then you will see the evidence that the prosecutor intend to present at trial.
Rather, it’s the Grand jury that ultimately determines if there is sufficient evidence to charge someone with a crime
An indictment, especially from a Grand Jury, basically says that prosecutors have evidence beyond mere speculation that the indicted person has committed a crime.
But of course, indicted persons are still innocent until proven guilty at trial (or if they enter into a plea deal)
Android17: Not exactly. Hushpuppi was being investigated for fraud and money laundering -some of which affected Americans. In the course of being investigated, all his financial transactions will be exhumed and anyone he sent monies to will be seen. They obviously saw the sum sent to that Zenith account and asked him questions about it, it turned out to be Abba Kyari's 3rd party account so they asked Hushpuppi some questions and based on his answer felt they had probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant for Kyari. Please take note that contrary to emotional opinions of people who know nihil, arrest warrants are not obtained based on "strong evidence that the FBI might have". Probable cause just means that the FBI have more than a mere suspicion that a suspect committed a crime, but not as much information as would be required to prove the suspect guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. What evidence do they have? Going from final to initial - Kyari got paid by Hush - Kyari did what Hush asked him to do - Hush asked Kyari to arrest Chibuzo - Chibuzo threatened to double cross Hush - Hush and Chibuzo worked together in a scam.
From the timeline of events, the FBI cannot place Kyari at the beginning of the process - they don't have evidence to do that. They cannot place him in stage 2. They can only see him from stages 3 to 5. Does this prove beyond reasonable doubt that Kyari knew and got involved in scamming the Qatari man? It does not. How so? Kyari might be a corrupt police officer (the money trail shows it) but if Chibuzo was in possession of a stolen car and Kyari knew about this and used it as a reason to get him arrested, it is still within his power. To the law, it does not really matter that Hush paid him to arrest Chibuzo. It may not be "good" but it does not make it wrong. It will only be wrong if Kyari planted incriminating evidence on Chibuzo to get him arrested. On police ethics, Kyari can be punished, but not by the U.S. If Kyari admits he was paid to do a hatchet job but that Chibuzo actually did commit a crime punishable by an arrest, the U.S have nothing on him. The FBI are trying to find out if the payment Kyari received is directly related to scamming the Qatari man. They do not have evidence that it is and nothing we have seen or heard so far proves that he did.
Well, this latest development says an e timely different thing…
“ Vanguard reporter Rasheed Sobowale reached out to Thom Mrozek, Director of Media Relations, United States Attorney’s Office, to request full court documents indicting the police officer after a press statement by the US Department of Justice noted Hushpuppi allegedly bribed Kyari to arrest a coconspirator, Kelly Chibuzo Vincent.
According to the court documents obtained by Vanguard, DCP Abba Kyari “together with others known and unknown to the Grand Jury, knowingly conspired to commit wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343”.”
pamcode: They both did well. After the bad news earlier in the day this is a succor. They would need to improve on that time so as to make the finals and possibly a medal. The race would be tighter than usual this year. In addition to the favs - Elaine Thompson, Asher smith and Fraser- Pryce. Leahna Daniels and that ivorian Ta lou have shown they aren't there just to make up the nos. I feel sorry for Sha carri that was disqualified
They’ll definitely improve their times in the semis
One doesn’t need a law degree to know that for the court document to show “ United States of America vs ....” it means the scam was commited either against an American or on American soil .
Even the court document shows he’s being tried by the LA office of FBI which means the crime happened within that jurisdiction...... but u see , some people will just say anything just to keep an argument going .
The funny thing is that these are the same set of people that will open mouth waaaaa and tell u that u are incapable of making logical deductions
Haha.
Actually, it’s the US Attorney’s office that is prosecuting the case. Anyway, what many don’t know is that even if an individual commits a crime against a US person or entity, while being out of the US, the FBI still has jurisdiction to go after that suspected criminal. Therefore, even as Abba Kyari was chilling at Sheraton hotel in Abuja, while assisting Hushpupi in his fraudulent crimes, Kyari is rightly being declared wanted by the FBI.
Moreover, a statute passed by Congress in the mid 1980s, gives the FBI the jurisdiction to investigate crimes committed against US citizens/entities outside US soil. So, if a fraudster defrauds a US citizen while that US citizen was on vacation in Accra, the FBI would investigate the matter, and possibly refer the case to a US Attorney for prosecution
Android17: You are making a more convincing argument than most but I can play the opposition for a second. Kyari cannot be tried in US for a crime committed by a non-american not committed in the US and which does not directly impact americans. Next, the fact that we know why he arrested Chibuzo does not mean we know how he did it. What I mean is, if he actually used something he had on Chibuzo as reason for arresting him, it is immaterial that he was solicited by hush to do it. The Nigerian judiciary and police service commission can extend punitive measures to him, but it hardly plays any role in the US. Kyari has probably burnt his chances of ever becoming an IGP in future but if he was in the know concerning the scam, Hush would not have needed to explain why he wanted Chibuzo nailed. And if per adventure Hush explained the intricacies of the deal (which would then make Kyari complicit and an assessory to the crime) the FBI will need to provide evidence of this - which they did not do and do not even claim to have.
I thought Kyari is being accused of being an accomplice to Hushpupi’s alleged crimes against US-based businesses?
linearity: They had a prenup, prenup don’t shield you from child & spousal support if your ex truly want to go after you.
Prenup only protect assets, child & spousal support is about your income vi-sa-vi the income of your ex.
You’re partially right: pre-nups cannot waive child support, but can waive spousal-support. So, if a pre-nup stipulates that, in the event of a divorce the spouse who has custody of the kids won’t receive any child support payments, a court will rule that such a clause is unenforceable.
AkinDS: Vivian IS already a part of Waldrum's group. She played in the Summer series here in the US and featured against Jamaica (started) and Portugal (came in as a sub). Herself and Demehin were intentionally left out of the Austria SF camp because of the WAFU B CL commitment with Rivers Angels.
This game was truly Rivers Angels vs the Nigerien goalie As the commentator said, a Nigerian club should buy that goalie ASAP cos she truly prevented the Rivers ladies from recording a basketball scoreline
BTW, Vivian should be given a look-in by Waldrum. Yes, the opponents weren’t the greatest out there, but Vivian showed some desirable qualities in a winger.
Sounds like the home-based players are still afflicted with the disease of lack of football intelligence. Smh. From the updates on the Rivers Angels game, here, I think it’s safe to say Waldrum would only consider inviting the talented midfielder and one or two of the wingers
Amid the angst across Nigeria following the rejection of obligatory electronic transmission of election results by the National Assembly during its amendment of the Electoral Act, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has hinted it is working on procuring at least 200,000 electronic voting machines.
The commission said by its own processes and procedures, it is dealing with four components of Electronic Voting System (EVS): Electronic Voter Register (EVR), Electronic Voting Machine (EVM), Electronic Voter Authentication (EVA) and Electronic Transmission of Results (ETR).
Speaking exclusively with LEADERSHIP in Abuja, INEC’s national commissioner for information and voter education, Festus Okoye, said the commission had invited 49 companies for a Request for Information (RFI) demonstration and that it was yet to shortlist any company for the purposes of supplying any of the machines.
Okoye said, “The commission is working on the estimates for these machines and we are working at procuring at least 200,000.’’
He noted that the commission had been uploading Polling Unit Results with its Smart Card Readers, the Z-pad and other electronic solutions.
“The commission is embarking on the Continuous Voter Registration exercise using a new Voter Enrolment Device (IVED) that captures fingerprints and facials and also has the capacity for authentication,’’ he said.
Okoye, who did not mention the cost of the machines, stated that the commission was working on a package that contains the four elements of the electronic voting system.
