US Court Orders Immediate Arrest Of DCP Abba Kyari

The United States (US) court has ordered the immediate arrest of DCP Abba Kyari over Hushpuppi bribery allegations.

Embattled alleged fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas popularly known as Ray Hushpuppi, indicted Abba Kyari saying the supercop received over a million-dollar bribery from him.

Justice Otis Wright of the US district court of California ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to produce Abba Kyari in the United States for his alleged role in a multi-million dollar fraud.

According to court documents, Abba Kyari and Hushpuppi were both involved in a conspiracy to launder money. It was gathered that Kyari was indicted for collecting bribes from Hushpuppi to arrest a member of his fraud syndicate in Nigeria.

AllNews Nigeria learnt that the American prosecutors first sought a court warrant to arrest Mr Kyari on February 12, 2021, according to court documents seen by The Gazette.

Another warrant was requested on April 29, 2021.

Judge Wright’s permission for the FBI to arrest DCP Abba Kyari and hold him in U.S. custody was unsealed on July 26.
