Investigations by the police have revealed how members of an international fraud syndicate, led by Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi, wired over N200m to the younger brother of the suspended police officer, Abba Kyari.

According to the report obtained by Channels Television on Monday, N279.120m went to the younger Kyari’s bank account at various times from the cyber scam syndicate members-Efe Martins (lead coordinator), Sikiru Adekoya, Usman Ibrahim, and Hussaini Ala.

The report noted: “That Ibrahim Baba Kyari is a major beneficiary of funds from the Zenith Bank Account of Hussaini Ala, from where he at different times, received various sums stalling Two Hundred and Eighteen Million, One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Naira {N218, 120, 000.00}. He also received the sum of Forty-Four Million Naira {N44, 000, 000.00} in multiple transactions from DCP Abba Kyari”.

On Monday, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) declared Kyari wanted over links with an international drug syndicate. He was later arrested and investigations over the claims are ongoing.

Before then, the police officer was suspended in connection with Hushpuppi. The Instagram celebrity claimed that Kyari received crime proceeds from him, accusing him of also arresting one of his accomplices when they had a disagreement.

But Kyari refuted the claims and efforts to extradite him to the US have been stalled, raising concern among Nigerians.

One of those who have faulted the handling of the case is a legal practitioner, Ebun-Oluwa (SAN). He told Channels Television on Wednesday that there is a plan to reabsorb Kyari into the police despite the allegations against him.

“I am just sure that one day we will just wake up and see that Mr Kyari would have been reabsorbed into the Nigerian Police Force,” the legal practitioner said on Sunrise Daily.

“With all due respect, I think that was what Mr. IGP was working towards because if you look at the events, it would seem that the super cop was in the good books of those in power.”
