Hushpuppi: IGP recommends suspension of Abba Kyari

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, has recommended the immediate suspension of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into his connection with the popular internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas.

Mr Kyari was indicted by U.S. authorities as part of the investigation of alleged fraudster, Mr Abbas, popularly called Hushpuppi, who has pleaded guilty to multi-million dollar fraud charges by U.S government.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the highly decorated Nigerian officer was fingered among the beneficiaries of proceeds from Mr Abbas’ illegal dealings, a reason a U.S court ordered his arrest and prosecution.

The stance of the IGP was announced by the police spokesperson, Frank Mba, on Sunday.
