No fewer than 31 lawyers from the northern part of the country have indicated interest in defending the embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, who was recently suspended in connection with a $1.1m scam involving an internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas also known as Hushpuppi.

This was disclosed on Wednesday by Barrister Bappah Salisu, who spoke on behalf of the 31 legal practitioners from 19 Northern States.

According to the statement, the lawyers decided to offer the free legal service to Abba Kyari following a call by the Coalition of Northern Groups which demanded that the fundamental human right of the embattled police boss must be protected.

The Northern group had made the call following an indictment by a court in the United States of America after the discovery of Abba Kyari’s tie with Hushpuppi.

Speaking on the move by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to extradite Kyari to the United States, the group of lawyers said the FBI did not follow due procedure, stressing that they breached international protocol.

“We would raise questions involving the possibility of breaches to Kyari’s fundamental rights entrenched in Articles 6 and 7 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Right which essentially state that every individual shall have the right to liberty and to the security of his person and every individual shall have the right to have his cause heard.

“This comprises: the right to an appeal to competent national organs against acts of violating his fundamental rights as recognized and guaranteed by conventions, laws, regulations and customs in force.

“The right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a competent court or tribunal; the right to defence, including the right to be defended by counsel of his choice; the right to be tried within a reasonable time by an impartial court or tribunal”, the group added.

Omg I made fp today in nairaland wow
This is dedicated to all SCA keep living

So now they remember there is human right? A privilege they never extend to others? They wanted the late Buriji Kashamu extradited to the same US back then without due process even if as known, he was a suspected drug baron yet don't want their hushipusshi supercop brother to face the same music? Bloody hypocrites!

Hope the south is learning something? Since these backward thinking humanity will always make those who stand on the side of the truth and rational reasoning appear stupid.

Fine officer, somebody Dino gave him job in NNPC bought two cars, he just built mansion...

How it is wished that these morons fought like this when the warped selective justice system being practiced by the Buhari government were used against the likes of Eyo Ita, Justice Onneghen, Kemi Adeosun, Babatunde Fowler (FIRS) etc.

In so much that justice Onneghen was corrupt, the speedy trial hausa-fulanis controlled govt gave to his matter including the unauthorised access to his asset declaration forms at the CCB tells a lot about their hypocrisy.

What about the impunity and lawlessness the Ibrahim Magu's EFCC handled other non-regime corruption cases? The rule of law and fundamental human rights never border to these ones until the supercop have been exposed as not different from all the yahoo boys he has been chasing around.

The thief is our brother; we cannot leave him in the lurch

The rest of us would be watching to see how it goes down.

Nigeria can never progress with such attitudes like this. Do this elderly almajiris know what they are telling the world with this show of shame?

Naija naija, jagajaga country
Fundamental human rights they say?
Whatever happens to kanu's human right and Igboho...
They even sent a plane to repatriate Igboho without due process..
How did we come to be in same country with these morons?

Why are people upset that 31 Northern lawyers have indicated interest to defend Abba Kyari. We are not talking 31 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) here but lawyers. I mean, this year alone Nigeria Law School graduated 4,350 new lawyers. So, that's no big deal.

The fact is that Abba Kyari understands the weight of the trouble he had walked into. I am sure his wealthy friends will hire a number of experienced Senior Advocates who are capable identifying and exploiting legal technicalities to get a soft landing for him. He needs a court ruling that will protect him from extradition beyond 2023.

Quota system lawyers can’t save abba kyari

The mumunatus re now mentioning fundamental human right but threw the fundamental human right out of the window in the cases of KANU and Igboho.

cool
#IstandwithAbbaKyari#
Any day anytime cool cool cool
Nooooo ! Sheyyykkkiiiieee cool cool Cool

Sharia lawyers

naija na cruise

All those quota system lawyers don't stand any chance.
The case is very plain and straight and if justice should prevail, even a baby lawyer will win the case.

RABA Kyari is guilty simple.
He is a fraudster.

why not wait till he get to USA so we can know how many of u have kudi to fly to USA and defend him

Of course igbo will Also do the same thing.

I love the north aswear

Innocent until proven guilty

Blackman always putting sentiment before common sense.

They can hire the minister of Justice and the attorney general of the federation to join the 31 quota system lawyers, clowns

First of all I am not from the north. And even if I was, aboki means friend in hausa. You are the one that needs education here. From the googled nonsense u posted, the Act u are referring to was a 1935 Act which was signed between UK and USA. Not nigeria and USA. There was no Nigeria in 1935!


When they say u should do research, its not just to rely on Google. Nigeria has an Extradition act, And Section 20 actually reposes the responsibility and powers to ascertain the conditionality for acceding to an extradition request on the Attorney-General not on the Court. Ok.


So bottom line, nigeria does not have to give up it's citizens to USA. The attorney general has the discretion.

these lawyers are just clutching at straw, they have no case at all because every international protocol was observed and Kyari should have been in America by now. At best, they're just trying to stall the inevitable through Nigeria's flawed legal system which suffers from unnecessary adjournment of trial. Kyari remains suspended (I dare say with his salàry still being paid) but he'll never be able to step out of the country or he risk being intercepted by Interpol. His road to IGP has been checkmated

This is a slap on the the face of the USA and FBI .
They should take this case seriously inorder to pass a message to all the upcoming tailors in the police

I'm not surprised. They are just wasting their time, he will surely be arrested.
