Suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari could be sacked from the police service if he is found guilty of aiding famous fraudster, Ramos Abass popularly known as Hushpuppi, the Police Service Commission has said.

Kyari was alleged to have received N8 million to arrest and jail Kelly Chibuzo Vincent, the internet fraudster’s co-conspirator.

He has, however, denied any wrongdoing since he began facing a criminal panel.

The Spokesperson for the PSC, Austin Braimoh has spoken about the likely disciplinary actions that Kyari might face if he is culpable.

Braimoh told Channels TV that the punishment for police officers who have committed infractions includes a warning, reprimand, severe reprimand, reduction in rank, and outright dismissal.

He said it is sad that crime fighters sometimes end up being entangled in negativity.

But the PSC spokesperson pointed out that it is not right to conclude that DCP Kyari is guilty since he has not been prosecuted under Nigerian laws yet.

Braimoh stated that Kyari’s indictment by the US court needs to be subjected to the Nigerian laws first to verify if the police officer is guilty as alleged. He noted that it will be unfortunate if the once celebrated police officer is found guilty of the indictment.
