Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana says the United States of America cannot extradite Nigeria’s Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari from the country without due process.
He, however, added that the police authorities in Nigeria should initiate urgent disciplinary action against the policeman. A US District Court of California had issued a warrant of arrest for Kyari over his role in a fraud committed by notorious internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi.
