The Police Services Commission has directed the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to deepen the investigation into the relationship between the suspended former head of the Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari, and internet fraudster Abbas Ramon, commonly known as Hushpuppi. The Commission, gave the IG two weeks to submit a report to be reviewed by the PSC Standing Committee for Discipline.
The IG directive was sequel to the continuation of the direction of the Attorney General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice
Newsglobal gathered that the AGF said the facts contained in the police investigation report were not strong enough to convict the DCP.
A senior official, who confided in our correspondent, stated, “The advice from the AGF is that the case needs further investigation; that the evidence produced on Abba Kyari was not enough to convict him despite the fact that they have established a prima facie case against him. But the facts cannot convict him in the court of law.
So, the police report was returned and the IG was asked to set up a special panel to look at the case. We have given them just a short period of two weeks to turn in their report.
