The House of Representatives has said a former Commander of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari, will remain its honouree until he is found guilty of the allegations against him by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States.

Kyari has been suspended by the Police Service Commission on the recommendation of the IGP, Usman Baba, pending his investigation by Nigeria’s police authorities.

The House, on June 11, 2020, honoured Kyari for his exceptional service to the Nigeria Police Force and Nigeria.

The invitation and honour followed a motion moved by the member representing Chibok Federal Constituency in Borno State, Ahmad Jaha, two days earlier.

Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, was invited into the chamber to appear before the lawmakers in plenary.

The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, had paid tributes in glowing terms to the police officer, whom he described as an intelligent man.

Gbajabiamila said, “We have with us an officer and a gentleman. We have with us in the chamber today a man that has proved himself to be worthy of the highest commendation; the man who has spent the latter years of his life, at least in the last 20 years, serving the people of Nigeria.

“Many of us may have heard of him; many of us may have seen him. But today, the House of Representatives, in its wisdom and having followed his career over the years, and witnessed on a daily and yearly basis how he put his life on the line for our great country, has deemed it worthy to commend and to honour him.”

Several members of the House had also paid tribute to Kyari, calling on the Federal Government to give him a national award.

In his response, Kyari said about 20 members of the IRT had lost their lives in the line of duty. He dedicated the award to them, saying the honour had boosted the morale of his men.

However, the FBI has alleged an international fraudster and money laundering suspect, Abass Ramon, aka Hushpuppi, paid N8m or $20,600 to the embattled Kyari, to arrest and detain a “co-conspirator,” Chibuzo Kelly Vincent.

A document issued by the United States District Court for the Central District of California and dated February 12, 2021, alleged that Hushpuppi contracted the services of the IRT commander after Chibuzo allegedly threatened to expose an alleged $1.1m fraud committed against a Qatari businessman.

When contacted on Monday to speak on the honour bestowed on Kyari, after being named in the scandal, the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Benjamin Kalu, said the DCP was still innocent until proven guilty.

Kalu said, “The position of our law is that you are innocent until you are proved guilty. It is not the only award that he has. We cannot begin to strip him of his award; he is a suspect at the moment. Lawmakers are not lawbreakers.

“The constitution says you are innocent until proved guilty. But if at the end of the day, he is convicted, then the House would have a reason to review its position. But at the moment, he is still under investigation.”

The FBI criminal complaint lodged at the United States District Court in California had listed Hushpuppi and Kyari among six suspects indicted in a $1.1m international fraud conspiracy.

The other suspects include AbdulRahman Juma (Abdul); Vincent Kelly Chibuzo (Kelly); Rukayat Motunrayo Fashola (Morayo); and Bolatito Tawakalitu Agbabiaka (Bolamide).

Kyari, who is popularly known as ‘super cop,’ has been under fire since the FBI, last Wednesday, unsealed a 69-page court document showing that he was under investigation by the bureau for his alleged link to Hushpuppi, who had pleaded guilty to fraud.

In the case marked 2:21-cr-00203, USA VS Abba Alhaji Kyari dated April 29, 2021, the FBI asked a US District Court in California to order the arrest of Kyari for 10 days.

Like Kyari, the House, under Gbajabiamila’s leadership, on September 18, 2019, honoured the Chairman of Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema, for the free air services offered by his domestic airline to the Federal Government for the evacuation of Nigerians under xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Later, on October 10, 2019, the House honoured recipients of the ‘Best Principal’ and ‘Best Teachers’ awards, Agnes Iyabo Elusakin and Pius Ikuseyidunmi, respectively, who were among the three teachers of Lagos State that won the 2019 President’s Teachers and Schools Excellence Award.

Which one is review honour? This country is not serious. Someone that should be in chains if found guilty...

Na Wash.

Chai, na so Kyari's story dey die gradually as predicted...

The FBI are not coming for him

He won't be extradited to anywhere

Infact, the NPF suspension na media wash cos Kyari would still be working behind closed doors..Very instrumental in Police force

Forget pride, follow those who sabi road

Abba kyari, all the members house of reps, gbajabiamila, Buhari, Osinbajo et al are all thieves; FOOLS!!

There have been a lot of complains about Abba Kyari before he was indicted in the USA.

Even Evans the kidnapper accused him of stealing some of his properties and money, are the NA members Blind, deaf and dumb when Evans accused the Super Yahoo Cop of this allegation?

There are lots of other terrible reports about him, yet the NA or NPF didn't do anything about it.

We are not even hearing anything about the immigration issue again, so people that died during that immigration brouhaha all died in vain? The likes of Abba Moro and the immigration boss during that year are still walking freely. I don't even believe Abba Moro can win an election after such a disaster.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't think this country can ever be a great country, something needs to be done, we can't continue like this. I'm already giving up on this country o.

Na only for big man matter dem dey review the rule of law with four google glasses. If na poor man, they for don beat four years commot from his age, bind am for chain and send him to oblivion forever not to be remembered.


These are the dividends of democracy; favouring only the rich thieves who should be imprisoned forever, but left to walk freely because of being connected to other big thieves in the thieves cadar. Well, I am available to write your assignments, thesis and dissertations. I'm online for a chat.

Abba Kyari’s downfall started the day he heard “Okonkwo” and went on overdrive deal with “nyamiri” that has no one in power to protect him.

He played with the God Israel and the result is a shameful end.

Don’t hate on the one the gods have chosen.

Kastonkastroll:
The thing is kyari got so many awards that came with dollars incentives. So the guy will be rich from all the money he gets from the awards. But this his only fuckup has really messed the dude up and as we all know, the average nigerian mindset doesn't like to see people succeed more than him.

Once you are a success story, bad belle people will be praying for your downfall.

Please shut up your mouth.

Miscreants like you need to be lock up, you don't deserve to live among sane people. Is because of useless things like you this country will be getting more worst.

Abba is lucky he is not a Chinese, he would have been sentence to death with this "one Bleep up" you claim he made.

Your dumb comment do not deserve to be on the first page.

Chaiiii.....see as dead body wey suppose to dey for inside mortuary just dey receive different styles of smack down ike back to back even after autopsy don confirm am say nothing go fit resurrect am come back to life..

It shall forever be well with FBI..

Northerners are the most just people in Nigeria, just look at the Abba kyari's saga we didn't come out to show that he is our son so justice should not take its course. We allow things to go smoothly unlike some of our brothers that are pampering and supporting their people no matter the evil they are doing. So please learn from us

Imagine

Damnnn niggar
He don set

Ok

The bastard never deserved any honor. other police officers do underground work and when the info on a criminal is out the slowpoke quickly jumps into the mix to claim glory. the funny part is the way he always boycott every officer to speak to the media after every operation so they he takes the glory.

All his honors are as follows:

killing innocent citizens and labeling them criminals
forcing offa bank robbers to name saraki as a sponsor
forcing innocent citizens to give up their assets or he kills them
living off other people glory
stealing with the uniform
the biggest killer among all SARS officers
jailing of poor citizens under the instruction of big crime-commiting citizens.

At the end Kyarri is a quota system officer that was brandished by kunu-drinking and gworo-eating evil merchant of deaths as a savior. the man does not even have brain and he was the leader of a supposed position that relies on ICT. How can you edit facebook post twelve times and couldn't come up with anything coherent. A total sham

medicine after death...what of people he stole from illegal arrest

They are not different from him

ok you guys won't set up your fruitless panel as always...

Better.
I sincerely hope he’s not guilty though.

I am shinning , I am making progress, I am blessed and I am glorious!!!!!!!!!! Glory!!!!!!!

Story story.

No be only god of Israel, na god of upper iweka.
Unintelligent jesters

Well

All men is guilty
Let him without sins cast the first stone.

For us to be redeeme we need to repent from our sins, Jesus died for us on the cross of Calvary for our redemption.

He was beaten and smitten for you and me.

Why not turn away from your sins and accept him as your lord and savior.

Remember
A life without Jesus is full of trouble.

Jesus saves
