The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has stated that it has not received any official communication on the arrest warrant issued against a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States over the cop’s indictment in a $1.1million cyber fraud involving a suspect, Abass Ramon aka Hushppuppi.The AGF, Abubakar Malami 's aide, Umar Gwandu, disclosed this, during an interview with Punch.
Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, had earlier urged the US to write the Nigerian Government through the AGF Office seeking the transfer of Kyari. “FBI cannot simply come here and pick up Abba Kyari. You must go through the extradition process as established in the Extradition Act of the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2004. You have to look at Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the extradition act,” Ozekhome had said in a television interview on Monday.
The AGF office is responsible for matters regarding extradition, repatriation and transfer of suspects or wanted persons.
