The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been called by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to arrest DCP Abba Kyari as a result of the case filed against him over his suspected connection to fraudster Hushpuppi.
According to a top source in the EFCC who talked with SaharaReporters, the agency is unable to make an arrest since Kyari is a police officer, and therefore the case is beyond the EFCC's jurisdiction.
"The FBI contacted the EFCC and requested that we arrest Abba Kyari, but we told them that it was a police problem," an EFCC insider stated.
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police has ordered an internal review of all the allegations levelled against Kyari by Hushpuppi.
The suspected internet fraudster who was arrested in Dubai in June 2020 allegedly told the FBI that he gave a bribe to Kyari to facilitate the arrest and imprisonment of a member of his online fraud gang identified as Chibuzo Vincent. Kyari has however denied this allegation.
