The Nigerian Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammadu Dingyadi, has explained why DSP Abba Kyari’s participation in a money laundering report was not made public following an investigations by the Inspector General of Police’s committee.
DCP Abba Kyari led the special police crime unit before his suspension by the Nigerian police.
The suspended DCP was indicted by the FBI in a multi-million naira internet fraud initiated by a notorious Nigerian scammer, Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
According to the Minister, the Nigerian police have done their expected job by setting up a panel committee that conducted unbiased investigations. Therefore, only President Muhammadu Buhari can decide the line of action against the suspended police officer.
Mr. Dingyadi stated this in an interview on channel TV on Tuesday, adding that after the investigations, all reports and recommendations have been duly sent to both the Minister of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for final action.
Abba Kyari had earlier denied any involvement in the alleged money laundering with Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
