The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded a forensic investigation into reports that the United States (US) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has linked head of Inspector-General of Police (IGP)’s Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari, to an international fraudster, Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

United States District Court for the Central District of California has ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to track down Kyari and produce him in the United States for his alleged role in a multi-million dollar fraud perpetrated by Hushpuppi.

A statement by the spokesman of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the revelation of the involvement of Kyari, as an alleged receiver of proceeds of international fraud is worrisome, disturbing and a stain on the integrity of Nigeria.

“It is indeed disquieting that the integrity of our nation has fallen so abysmally low under the corrupt and fraud-patronizing President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, to the extent that the head of its police intelligence unit is being charged in connection with international fraud.

“Our party demands that the APC administration should not sweep this matter under the carpet given the manifest rapport between Kyari and some top APC leaders.

“We urge President Buhari not to ‘ease out’ this case of corruption but should immediately restore the integrity and image of our nation by allowing for a forensic investigation on the suspect.

“Moreover, if this Abba Kyari matter is not well handled, it will be a permanent stain on the reputation of our police, security system and our nation at large.

“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 statement read.
