The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded a forensic investigation into reports that the United States (US) Federal Bureau of
Investigation has linked head of Nigeria’s IGP Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari, to international fraudster, Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
PDP said the revelation of the involvement of Kyari, the head of Nigeria’s intelligence response unit, as a receiver of proceeds of international fraud is “worrisome, disturbing and a stain on the integrity of our nation.” In a statement signed by the party’s national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Thursday, the PDP noted that it was disquieting that the integrity of Nigeria has allegedly fallen abysmally low under what it called the corrupt and fraud-patronising President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress administration, to the extent that the head of its police intelligence unit is being charged in connection with international fraud.
“The PDP, therefore, asks President Buhari to direct the Inspector General of Police to take in Abba Kyari for questioning and if found culpable, he should be handed over to the FBI,” the party stated.
